SureCast Ammonium Persulfate (APS) is a highly reliable oxidizing agent used in conjunction with tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) to catalyze the polymerization of acrylamide and bis-acrylamide. This essential process is crucial in the preparation of polyacrylamide gels for electrophoresis, facilitating protein and nucleic acid separation in molecular biology research.
Key Features
- Efficient Catalysis: APS, in combination with TEMED, ensures rapid and uniform polymerization of acrylamide gels.
- Compatibility: Ideal for use in preparing denaturing and non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels for electrophoresis.
- Product Line: Part of the SureCast system, designed for high-performance gel electrophoresis applications.
- Ready-to-Use: Available in a convenient 25 g unit, ensuring ease of use and minimal waste.
Applications
- Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE):
- Protein separation and analysis (SDS-PAGE).
- Nucleic acid separation in denaturing and native conditions.
- Gel Casting: Aids in hand-casting gels for custom electrophoresis experiments.
- Research Labs: Widely used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein chemistry laboratories.
