Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for detecting marked biopolymers, especially nucleic acid fragments in a gel matrix. A parallel separation takes place in a number of microcapillaries that are filled with a gel matrix.
Claims16
A method for fractionating labeled biopolymers in a gel matrix, characterized in that parallel fractionation is carried out in a multiplicity of microcapillaries filled with a gel matrix.
An apparatus for size fractionation of labeled nucleic acid fragments, comprising
- (a) a multiplicity of microcapillaries filled with a gel matrix,
- (b) means for automatic sample application into said microcapillaries with positional addressing and
- (c) means for automatic position-specific detection of labels in said microcapillaries.
