General Description
• Acrylamide is an organic amide compound mainly used to as a monomer in the synthesis of polyacrylamide
• Acrylamide is formed in foods containing carbohydrates in its composition, mainly when these foods are fried, grilled or baked
Applications
• In laboratory experiments acrylamide participates in chemical reactions as an intermediate in the preparation of N-methylol acrylamide and N-butoxyacrylamide compounds
• For molecular usage, this compound can be used as a carrier and is involved in the precipitation of small amounts of DNA
• In molecular experiments it is used in gel electrophoresis, including western blot, and SDS-PAGE, to separate proteins and macromolecules based on their size and charge
