title: Separation of hyaluronic acid by ultrahigh-voltage capillary gel electrophoresis.
abstract: Hyaluronic acid was separated using 95 kV applied potential in a polyacrylamide gel-filled capillary. The results of this separation were compared to those obtained using a capillary electrophoresis instrument operated at a more conventional potential of 15 kV. For lower-molecular-weight oligomers, the separation efficiency was found to improve by about tenfold, and the resolution by about threefold. However, the improvement in resolution declined as the polymer molecular weight increased.
