Acrylamide is a commonly used matrix for electrophoretic separation of nucleic acids and proteins. Acrylamide is used as a chemical intermediate in production of polyacrylamides, for use in protein electrophoresis (PAGE), synthesis of dyes and copolymers for contact lenses.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
