Abstract

Electrophoresis support media which include one or more polymers made from hydroxy alkyl esters of acrylic or methylacrylic acid or poly (alkylene glycol) esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid. These acrylic or methacrylic monomers are polymerized or copolymerized to form electrophoresis support media which can be used in place of polyacrylamide gels, agar gels and agarose gels. The acrylic or methacrylic ester monomers may be cross-linked with various cross-linking agents to provide electrophoresis support media with a wide range of pore sizes and physical strength. The electrophoresis support media is well-suited for use with organic solvents.
