Product Overview
Acrylamide LR is a high-purity, laboratory-grade chemical designed for precise applications in molecular biology and biochemistry. This fine, crystalline powder offers exceptional solubility in water, forming stable solutions ideal for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and other protein separation techniques. With a minimum assay of 99%, it ensures reproducibility and accuracy in experimental procedures. The reagent is meticulously processed to eliminate impurities, reducing background interference in sensitive assays. Its low conductivity and high electrochemical stability make it suitable for creating uniform gel matrices with consistent pore sizes. Acrylamide LR undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international laboratory standards, providing researchers with a reliable foundation for their work. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption and degradation, maintaining its integrity during storage. When handled with proper laboratory safety protocols, this reagent delivers optimal performance across various research applications where precision and purity are paramount.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Acrylamide LR when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, unopened Acrylamide LR maintains its stability for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture. Always check the container for any signs of caking or discoloration before use.
2. Can this acrylamide be used for both DNA and protein gel electrophoresis?
The high purity of this LR grade acrylamide makes it suitable for protein gel electrophoresis. For DNA applications, additional purification steps may be required depending on the sensitivity of your specific protocol.
3. What safety precautions should be taken while handling Acrylamide LR?
Acrylamide powder should be handled in a fume hood wearing appropriate PPE including gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles. Avoid inhalation of dust and skin contact, as acrylamide is a known neurotoxin in its monomeric form.
4. How does the purity of this LR grade compare to electrophoresis-grade acrylamide?
While LR grade offers 99% purity suitable for most laboratory applications, electrophoresis-grade typically undergoes additional purification to remove trace metals and nucleases, making it more suitable for highly sensitive molecular biology applications.
5. What is the recommended storage temperature for Acrylamide LR?
The ideal storage temperature range is between 15-25°C. Avoid storing in refrigerated conditions as temperature fluctuations can lead to moisture condensation inside the container.
