High-Purity Reagent for Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE) of Nucleic Acids and Proteins
Invitrogen™ UltraPure™ Acrylamide is a highly purified reagent, recrystallized three times, and specifically designed for use in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) for the separation of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This acrylamide powder serves as a key monomer for gel polymerization and supports applications ranging from restriction fragment separation to protein characterization using denaturing (SDS or urea), native, and isoelectric focusing gels.
With consistent performance validated through polymerization time testing in SDS-PAGE systems, UltraPure™ Acrylamide is ideal for high-resolution analytical techniques in molecular biology, biochemistry, and proteomics.
✅ Key Features & Benefits
- Triple-Recrystallized for UltraPurity – Removes impurities and polymerization inhibitors for reliable gel formation
- Versatile Electrophoresis Reagent – Suitable for native, SDS, urea-denaturing, and isoelectric focusing PAGE formats
- High Resolution – Supports precise separation of DNA fragments and proteins
- Validated for SDS-PAGE – Polymerization time tested in standardized gel systems
- Convenient 500 g Format – Ideal for high-volume gel preparation in research labs
🧪 Applications
- DNA and RNA Fragment Analysis – Restriction digests, sequencing (e.g., Sanger, Maxam-Gilbert)
- Protein Electrophoresis – SDS-PAGE, native PAGE, and urea-PAGE
- Isoelectric Focusing – Protein separation based on isoelectric points
- Gel Matrix Preparation – Casting of vertical and horizontal polyacrylamide gels
- Molecular Biology, Genomics, and Proteomics Research
