Polymers and Coatings

We are in the final development stage of a novel polymer for use as a capillary gel electrophoresis sieving matrix (gel) to separate DNA fragments by size. Sieving matrixes made from this polymer have properties unlike anything currently used. It is a non-acrylamide and hydrolytically-stable polymer that has high separation efficiency, medium viscosity, and does not require a coated capillary.

We are also developing this unique polymer as a coating for capillaries and micro-fluidic chips to reduce electro-osmotic flow and analyte-wall interactions over a wide pH range.
