Abstract

Polymer sieving in capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been applied to DNA analysis because complementary double-stranded DNA or completely denatured single-stranded DNA molecules have a constant charge-to-mass ratio. These molecules migrate in sieving media, dependent only upon their molecular size, so that the migration velocity of the DNA of interest reflects its molecular size and secondary structure. Both gel-filled capillaries and replaceable linear polymer solutions can be used as sieving media. Polyacrylamide gel-filled capillaries can be prepared by procedures similar to conventional polyacrylamide slab gels, described in section 4.3. Gellike molecular sieving electrophoresis is performed in replaceable linear polymer solutions such as non-crosslinked polyacrylamide, polysaccharides, poly(ethylene glycol), etc. Recently replaceable linear polymer solutions have been employed more frequently than gel-filled capillaries because of their easy operation and highly reproducible measurements [1–3].
