Abstract
Size-exclusion chromatographic (SEC) fractionation and electrophoretic separation of aquatic humic matter samples from a Finnish lake using Sephadex G-75 with 7 M urea solution as eluent and 10% polyacrylamide gel (PAGE) with urea and sodium dodecyl sulphate solution (SDS), respectively, were performed and compared to similar analyses performed on a Russian chernozem soil humic acid sample and Nordic reference fulvic and humic acid samples. The integrated whole of aquatic humic solutes and soil humic acids were found to exhibit similar SEC-PAGE behaviours. Humic matter was not excessively disaggregated by the 7 M urea and hence SEC-PAGE can with confidence be applied as a coarse, initial fractionation procedure or for certain predeterminations of the structural composition.
