| abstract |
A water-soluble copolymer characterized wherein it has the structure (I) wherein L is alkylene, arylene, a divalent heteroatom, (1), or a combination of two or more thereof, wherein Z is a divalent heterocyclic group having 5 to 7 nuclear carbon and heteroatoms, -A- represents recurring units derived from one or more polymerized acrylamide monomers, R1 is hydrogen or methyl, R2' is a haloacetamido group, -B- represents recurring units derived from any other polymerized vinyl monomers, and x, y and z represent weight percents of the recurring units, x being about 50-90 weight percent, y being about 1-50 weight percent, and z being about 0-45 weight percent is disclosed. This copolymer is useful in an element, a method and a kit for electrophoresis. |
