Abstract
A viscosity-adjustable medium for use in separation methods is described. In particular, a block copolymer composition is described which exists as a low viscosity solution at a temperature outside of the temperature range of electrophoresis and which self-assembles into a gel-like polymer network at electrophoresis operating temperatures. A system is described for conducting molecular separation in a capillary column using the viscosity-adjustable medium. In addition, a method is also described for separating charged molecules.
