## A method that is both simple and inexpensive is described for preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of low-molecular-weight RNA. The utility of the method is demonstrated by the preparative separation of 4S and 5s RX-i.

## Abstract A method for drying polyacrylamide slab gels of various size and gel composition (T 7.5β15 %, C 2.67 %) is described. The destained gels, containing glycerol, are overlayered with gelatin and dried. Transparent and flexible sheets are obtained which can be stored for extended periods an
dling and storage. The overall quality ofthe second-dimension gel is improved by eliminating the dark carrier ampholyte streak at the front of the basic end of the gel as well as the SDS-Triton artifact at the acidic end. The degree of protein resolution is essentially identical for the two techniqu
A method is described for analyzing the radioactivity of 3H-labeled RNA after separation by gel electrophoresis. The gels were soaked in 10% acetic acid and were sliced. The gel slices were dehydrated in alcohol, then saturated with toluene, and finally permeated with a toluene-based scintillation f
