General description
• Acrylamide / N,N'-Methylenebisacrylamide is a water-soluble, odorless, white crystalline powder
• This compound polymerizes in the presence of free radicals to generate gels whose pore-size may be regulated by manipulating the relative concentrations of this mixture of compounds
Applications
• Polyacrylamide gels are widely used in biochemistry, forensic chemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology to separate proteins or nucleic acids, according to their electrophoretic mobility
• Because of their higher resolution compared to other gels, polyacrylamide gels are also used in the analysis of smaller RNA species from mixed samples
