  • What is polyacrylamide gel?
  • Related Topics: Protein Standards, Buffer Systems and Gel Chemistries, and Handcasting Polyacrylamide Gels. Polyacrylamide gels are prepared by free radical polymerization of acrylamide and a comonomer crosslinker such as bis-acrylamide.
  • What is polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)?
  • Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is a common technique used to separate proteins. While folded (or native) proteins can be separated using native-PAGE, proteins are typically unfolded with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and a reducing agent like dithiothreitol (DTT) prior to electrophoresis.
  • How are polyacrylamide gels prepared?
  • Polyacrylamide gels are prepared by free radical polymerization of acrylamide and a comonomer crosslinker such as bis-acrylamide. Polymerization is initiated by ammonium persulfate (APS) with tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) as the catalyst (see figure below).
  • Which acrylamide kits are available for hand casting polyacrylamide gels?
  • Acrylamide powders, premixed acrylamide/bis powders, and premixed acrylamide/bis solutions are offered for handcasting polyacrylamide gels. Standard and alternative cross-linkers and catalysts are available. TGX FastCast acrylamide kits for hand casting polyacrylamide gels enable fast, easy casting and produce long-life gels.
