Isolated metaphase chromosomes of several fibroblastoid cell lines (Chinese hamster, Chinese hamster x human hybrid) were subjected to free flow electrophoresis (FFE) to study their electrophoretic mobility (EM). The morphology and stability of the chromosomes were unaffected by FFE as examined by cytogenetic methods and flow cytometry. The chromosomes of the complement all showed similar EM under most of the conditions applied. At neutral pH the EM of the chromosomes had the same sign as free DNA and about 2/3 of its magnitude. The variation of EM with buffer parameters such as ionic strength, valence of counterions, buffer capacity and dielectric constant of the solvent were investigated. Thermal denaturation increased the EM of the chromosomes by 20%. Partial denaturation might offer a possibility to separate or enrich large amounts of chromosomes by FFE.
