What is polyacrylamide gel?

Polyacrylamide gel is a thicker and stickier substance, similar to what’s in baby diapers. (Ashley P. Taylor, Discover Magazine, 7 Sep. 2012)

How are polyacrylamide gels made?

Polyacrylamide gels are cast using mixtures of acrylamide monomers with a cross-linking reagent, usually N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (bis), both solubilized in buffer Relative distance a protein has traveled compared to the distance traveled by the ion front. This value is used to compare proteins in different lanes and even in different gels.

What is ready gel polyacrylamide precast gel?

Ready Gel polyacrylamide precast gels are designed to fit the Mini-PROTEAN ® Tetra cell and are ready to run. Simply lock them into the cell, load your samples, and get sharp, beautifully resolved protein bands in 30–45 min. Our precast gels provide high quality and reliability and eliminate exposure to toxic unpolymerized acrylamide.

Which acrylamide kits are available for hand casting polyacrylamide gels?

Acrylamide powders, premixed acrylamide/bis powders, and premixed acrylamide/bis solutions are offered for handcasting polyacrylamide gels. Standard and alternative cross-linkers and catalysts are available. TGX FastCast acrylamide kits for hand casting polyacrylamide gels enable fast, easy casting and produce long-life gels.

What types of acrylamide are available in Bio-Rad?

Bio-Rad offers high purity acrylamide in three forms: acrylamide powders, premixed acrylamide/bis powders, and acrylamide solutions. Bio-Rad offers both highly purified SDS powder and 10% and 20% SDS solutions. Tween 20 for blotting and Triton X-100 and CHAPS for membrane protein solubilization are also available.

What are ready gel precast gels?

Our precast gels provide high quality and reliability and eliminate exposure to toxic unpolymerized acrylamide. Ready Gel precast gels are available in a wide selection of formulations for SDS-PAGE, native PAGE, peptide separations, and nucleic acid separations.
