Invitrogen™ SureCast™ Ammonium Persulfate (APS)

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.
