title: Equilibrium gel permeation: measurement of solute partitioning by direct fluorescence scanning.
abstract: The feasibility fo using fluorescence detection in quantitative gel permeation measurements has been explored. It is shown that the effect of scattering by the gel matrix can be evaluated in terms of pathlength-dependent turbidity functions for excitation and emission wavelengths. Experimental studies were carried out to evaluate these funcitons in cross-linked dextran gels (Sephadexes) and in agarose gels (Sepharoses). Empirical turbidity functions derived for these gels have a simple form, leading to accurate simplifying approximations for the scattering correction required in a fluorescence gel permeation measurement. Using this approach...
