  • Viscous electrophoresis polymer medium and method
    Patent number: 5290418
    Abstract: A viscous electrophoresis separation medium is disclosed. The medium is formed by a matrix formed by a copolymer composed of hydrophilic polymer segments having selected, substantially uniform segment lengths, and a plurality of hydrophobic polymer segments carried on, and spaced from one another at regular repeating intervals, by the hydrophilic polymer segments. Also disclosed is an electrophoresis method which employs the separation medium, and novel copolymers used in forming the medium.
