Viscosity-adjustable block copolymer for DNA separation by capillary electrophoresis

Electrophoresis
C WuB Chu

Abstract

The viscosity-adjustable property of F127 block copolymer PEO99PPO69PEO99, PEO and PPO being poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide), respectively, was found to be useful for the development of automated capillary electrophoresis (CE). The polymer solution can form a gel-like structure with sieving ability and can also serve as a dynamic coating material, thereby effectively suppressing the electroosmotic flow induced by the ionization of the silanol group on the quartz capillary inner wall. When applied to CE as a separation medium, F127 block copolymer can provide the advantages of high separation resolution, easy injection and replacement of the triblock copolymer solution and convenient capillary column treatment. High reproducibility of DNA electrophoretic migration time in CE by replenishing F127 solution in acid-washed capillary tubings can be achieved. The relative standard deviation of the DNA migration time is less than 2%. In the investigation of F127 concentration and temperature effects on the performance of DNA separation in CE, we have found that the DNA electrophoretic migration behavior in the F127 gel-like solution cannot be described by any one of the existing models.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
