Abstract

A method for detecting a target biomolecule directly in a polyacrylamide gel in which it has been separated from other substances. Prior to binding the target to a probe and while the target biomolecule remains in the gel, the gel is immersed in a water miscible aqueous extracting medium containing a base to shrink the gel by at least about ten percent, and then the gel is washed with water to restore the gel to substantially its original size.
