Bisacrylamide

Bisacrylamide, also called N,N'-Methylenebisacrylamide, is a crosslinking agent commonly used for the formation of polymers such as polyacrylamide gels. Bisacrylamide polymerizes with acrylamide and is capable of creating cross-links between polyacrylamide chains, which creates a network of polyacrylamide instead of unconnected linear chains. The ratio of bis-acrylamide to acrylamide determines the porosity of the polyacrylamide gel. Bisacrylamide is essential in the preparation of protein electrophoresis gels, such as those used in SDS-PAGE. Visit the supplier page for more product information, such as purity and reagent grade.
