Abstract

An electrophoresis gel is regenerated by light-irradiating an electrophoresis gel used for separating a fluorescence-labeled sample by electrophoresis and optically detecting the sample, thereby photo-dissociating a fluorescence-labeling substance remaining in the electrophoresis gel and reutilizing the resulting gel repeatedly. A troublesome operation of preparing an electrophoresis gel at every occasion of separation and detection can be saved thereby.
