1. A method of increasing resolution and decreasing mobility of polynucleotides on an electrophoretic support for conducting electrophoresis comprising:
- adding to an electrophoretic support for conducting electrophoresis, a polynucleotide resolution increasing concentration of a compound selected from the group consisting of alcohols, polyols, and monosaccharides in the presence of an ionic buffer comprising an ion selected from the group consisting of sulphate, chloride and phosphate ions of a pH of range 6-9, wherein increased resolution and decreased mobility of said polynucleotide on said electrophoretic support results.

Abstract
The present invention is a method for enhancing the separation of polynucleotides or polypeptides of various chain lengths or a mixture of polynucleotides and polypeptides of various chain lengths using electrophoretic processes to sharpen sample component zones and produce maximum resolution of electrophoretically separated macromolecules by modifying the matrix of electrophoretic gel.
