Summary
Macroporous poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene), with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-coated pores, was investigated as a novel medium for thin-layer electrophoresis. The system was tested using polymeric dyes having polyelectrolyte character, which were prepared by reaction of a vinylsulphone reactive dye (CI Reactive Blue 19) with PVA. Higher molar mass samples exhibited higher mobility on electrophoresis in the macroporous medium.
