Abstract: The present invention relates to electrophoresis and in particular low fluorescent electrophoretic supports for hydrogels used for separation of fluorescence labelled biomolecules. More particularly, the invention relates to use of a polymer having the following formula: wherein n=0-100 000 m=0-100 000 R1, R2, R3 and R4=H, F, Cl, Br, I, methyl groups or non-aromatic hydrocarbon chains (optionally containing branches or cyclic structures) such as ethyl, ethenyl, propyl, isopropyl, propenyl, butyl, branched butyl, butenyl, cyclobutyl, pentyl, branched pentyl, pentenyl, cyclopentyl, hexyl, branched hexyl, cyclohexyl; X, Y=methylene groups or non-aromatic hydrocarbon chains (optionally containing branches or cyclic structures) such as ethylene, ethenylene, propylene, isopropylene, propenylene, butylene, branched butylene, butenylene; Y can optionally be absent as a low fluorescent support film of an electrophoretic hydrogel for slab gel electrophoresis.
