Application

These 30% (w/w) acrylamide/bis-acrylamide solutions are available at the most common ratios for use in protein and nucleic acid electrophoresis. The concentration is based on the total weight of both the acrylamide and bis-acrylamide.

Acrylamide/Bis-acrylamide, 30% solution has been used as a constituent in the preparation of 5% stacking gel and 7% resolving gel for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).

General description

Polyacrylamide gels are prepared using acrylamide and bis-acrylamide, where bis-acrylamide is a cross-linking agent. On the other hand, acrylamide is a water soluble monomer which helps in forming a transparent stable insoluble gel.

Preparation Note

Solution prepared from electrophoresis grade acrylamide and bis-acrylamide in ultra-pure water.
