✦ Synopsis
Alkaline hydrolysis of high-molecular-mass (10 MDa) linear polyacrylamide, a widely used replaceable sieving medium for the capillary electrophoresis of DNA fragments and proteins, was investigated. The release rate of ammonia, a product of amide group hydrolysis, was monitored by a high-sensitivity continuous-flow system. The experimental results show a rapid onset of hydrolysis at a temperature of 70 degrees C. While the degree of 1 h hydrolysis was evaluated to reach about 16% at 70 degrees C and pH 13, it drops to 5% at 50 degrees C and pH 12.5.

To illustrate the proposed method, Figure 1 shows calculated and experimental liquid thermal conductivity data for the system methanol water at 0" and 60°C. Figure 2 exemplifies a limitation of Equation ( 1) in that it fails to predict the minimum thermal conductivities for the azeotropic liquid mix
