Labbox Acrylamide GEN, 1 kg
This high-quality laboratory reagent provides an optimal basis for electrophoretic applications and biochemical analyses, particularly in protein and nucleic acid research. The precise composition ensures reliable and reproducible separation of molecules, especially when producing polyacrylamide gels. Compared to similar products on the market, it impresses with its high purity, which leads to particularly clear and low interference results in electrophoresis.
Versatile properties for precise laboratory analyses
Acrylamide is an indispensable building block for the production of polyacrylamide gels, which are used in numerous molecular biological and biochemical processes. Thanks to its polymerisable properties, gels of different pore sizes can be produced to precisely separate proteins, nucleic acids or other molecules. Thanks to its consistent product quality, this reagent makes a decisive contribution to selectivity and resolution in the laboratory.
Experts working in molecular biology, cell biology or protein analysis rely on acrylamide to reliably perform SDS-PAGE and native PAGE, for example. The material also impresses when analysing DNA and RNA thanks to its low background signals and clear results. Another advantage is the long shelf life when stored properly, which reduces costs and labour in the laboratory in the long term. The high purity of the material ensures a uniform polymerisation process, which is essential for precise analysis methods.
However, appropriate protective measures are required for safe handling, as this chemical is classified as toxic and potentially carcinogenic. The excellent labelling and compliance with relevant standards and certifications enable reliable handling. Added to this is a practical packaging unit of 1 kg, which is ideal for laboratories of all sizes.
Important technical data at a glance
- Chemical formula: C3H5NO
- Molar mass: 71.08 g/mol
- CAS number: 79-06-1
- Hazard statements: GHS06, GHS08 (e.g. H350, H340)
- Typical fields of application: Electrophoresis, molecular biological tests, production of polyacrylamide gels
- Dangerous goods class: 6.1 III (UN 2074)
- Packaging: Resistant container, 1 kg unit
Due to the classification in dangerous goods class 6.1 III, transport and storage must be carefully planned to ensure safety in the laboratory environment. In addition to the pure substance quality, the heat dissipated during polymerisation also plays a role with acrylamide. To avoid unnecessary self-polymerisation, the product should be stored in a cool, dry and light-protected environment.
The combination of acrylamide with crosslinkers such as N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide is crucial for users who require defined gel structures. A uniform pore size fits seamlessly into common protocols and is crucial when analysing molecules such as antibodies, enzymes or lactate dehydrogenase in various research projects. High reproducibility is essential for obtaining meaningful results, particularly in protein analysis or for screening procedures in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
Certifications and fulfilment of standards
The manufacturer is known for strict controls during production and fulfils European standards for laboratory chemicals. This ensures that all legal requirements are met, particularly with regard to hazardous substance labelling in accordance with the CLP Regulation and transport regulations in accordance with ADR, IATA and IMDG. Users benefit from standard-compliant quality that facilitates use in professional laboratory environments.
Concrete application examples
- SDS-PAGE for proteins: For precise separation and determination of molecular weights of enzymes or antibodies, among other things.
- Native PAGE: Enables analyses of the native protein structure without impairing the function through denaturation.
- Nucleic acid analysis: Suitable for DNA and RNA analyses, for example for detecting mutations in medical research.
- High-resolution polyacrylamide gels: For demanding separation methods that require consistent results.
FAQs
What is the best way to store this fabric?
Store the reagent in a cool, dry room away from light. Make sure that the container is always tightly closed to protect it from moisture and unwanted polymerisation processes.
What protective equipment is recommended
Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles and a lab coat. Depending on the type of application, respiratory protection may be useful to prevent the ingress of harmful vapours or dusts.
Is gel production complicated?
The production of polyacrylamide gels requires precise working methods, but is straightforward with the correct protocols. The exact concentrations and careful weighing of all reagents are crucial.
What concentrations are suitable for proteins?
Concentrations between 8 % and 15 % are often selected. The optimum concentration depends on whether smaller or larger proteins are to be separated.
