High-Purity Monomer for Polyacrylamide Gel Preparation, Molecular Biology, and Industrial Applications
Thermo Scientific™ Acrylamide (≥98%) is a high-purity, electrophoresis-grade monomer widely used in the synthesis of polyacrylamide gels for protein and nucleic acid electrophoresis, as well as in industrial and chemical synthesis processes. In molecular biology, acrylamide functions as both a gel matrix material and a carrier for DNA precipitation, especially in small-volume samples.
This product is well-suited for researchers preparing custom acrylamide:bisacrylamide solutions and those requiring reliable performance in SDS-PAGE, native PAGE, and nucleic acid separation workflows. Acrylamide is also a key component in applications such as wastewater treatment, ore processing, dye production, and the synthesis of derivatives like N-methylol acrylamide.
