Acrylamide / Bisacrylamide

Acrylamide/Bisacrylamide solutions are used in casting polyacrylamide gels, commonly used in protein electrophoresis. Acrylamide is a water-soluble monomer that helps to form a transparent and insoluble gel that is stable. Bisacrylamide acts as the cross-linking agent, creating a network of polyacrylamide instead of linear polymers. A greater number of cross-links results in smaller pores sizes and the ratio of acrylamide to bisacrylamide determines the pore size of the gel. Solutions of varying concentrations, ratios, and cross-link percentages are available. Browse the products below and visit the supplier page for more information.
