Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate poly-N,N-dimethylacrylamide (pDMA) as a low-viscosity polymer matrix for capillary electrophoresis.
  • To characterize pDMA's performance for DNA and oligonucleotide separation.
  • To evaluate pDMA's potential as a universal polymer for biological macromolecule separation.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic characterization of pDMA matrix properties.
  • Studies on concentration, chain length, and field strength dependence.
