Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Acrylamide functions as a quencher of tryptophan fluorescence. Acrylamide along with bis-acrylamide crosslinks to form polyacrylamide gels, which is used to separate protein and other biomolecules. Bis-acrylamide is essential for crosslinking and acrylamide is required for the polymerization of monomers. Acrylamide alkylates SH groups of cysteine and ε-NH2 lysine residues of proteins during electrophoresis._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Acrylamide has been used in the preparation of polyacrylamide gels._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1 kg in glass bottle_x000D_ 100, 500 g in glass bottle_x000D_ Compatibility_x000D_ This substance has been tested against several types of hand protection for CE compliance.
