Abstract: An acrylic monomer which is an amino sugar alcohol whose primary or secondary amino group has been derivatized by an acryloyl or a methacryloyl function. The amino group can be linked to any carbon of five or six-carbon sugar alcohols. The acrylic monomer has the formula: ##STR1## where R.sub.1 is H, CH.sub.2 OH or (CHOH).sub.m CH.sub.2 OH, m being 1 or 2;R.sub.2 is monohydroxyalkyl, polyhydroxyalkyl or hydrocarbon radical;R.sub.3 is H or CH.sub.3 ; andn is an integer of 1-4The acrylic monomer can be polymerized by a free radical polymerization, either alone or with other compounds and materials having polymerizable double bonds. The so formed polymers are linear or branched (cross-linked). The cross-linked polymers are usually in the form of gels. The gels can be polymerized in different forms and shapes, i.e., beads, thin sheets, rods, blocks, etc. and are useful as separation media, e.g.

Abstract: A method for detecting a glycoprotein using a solid support is disclosed where the glycoprotein is oxidized by periodate, polyacrylic polyhydrazide which is a copolymer having repeating units possessing a hydrazide group and repeating units possessing hydroxyl groups is coupled to the oxidized glycoprotein and a glycoenzyme or radioactive compound containing aldehyde groups or activated ketone groups is coupled to the polyacrylic polyhydrazide which allows for detection of the glycoprotein. The glycoprotein may be directly attached to the solid support or may be bound to an antigen which is immobilized on the solid support.

Abstract: Electrophoresis apparatus for conducting electrophoresis in submerged gels, comprises a plurality of compartments including at least one gel compartment and at least one reservoir compartment; a plate as the bottom of a gel compartment, electrodes only in a gel compartment; the electrodes arranged in such a way that during operation the created electric field is confined essentially within a rectangular box, the said rectangular box defined on sides by side walls or barriers, on top by air and on bottom by the plate; means to circulate buffer; and barriers in a gel compartment mounted on the plate in front of buffer circulation openings.
