Key Applications
This molecular biology grade Ammonium Persulphate is essential for:
- Initiating polymerization in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)
- Enhancing PCR efficiency by activating Taq polymerase
- Protein cross-linking and structural studies
- DNA/RNA extraction protocols requiring oxidative conditions
Handling and Storage
Ammonium Persulphate is stable at room temperature but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles) when handling, as it can irritate skin and eyes. For long-term storage, keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
Why This Grade Matters
Not all Ammonium Persulphate is created equal. The 98% molecular biology grade ensures:
- Low heavy metal content to prevent enzyme inhibition
- Consistent performance in sensitive assays
- Minimal batch-to-batch variability for reproducible results

Safety Note
Ammonium Persulphate is a strong oxidizer. Avoid contact with organic materials, reducing agents, or heat sources. In case of skin contact, rinse immediately with water. Dispose of according to local regulations.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of Ammonium Persulphate 98%?
When stored properly in a sealed container, it remains stable for up to 2 years. However, for best results in critical applications, use within 12 months of opening.
Can I use this grade for non-molecular biology applications?
While optimized for molecular biology, this high-purity grade can also be used in general chemistry applications where low impurities are desired.
How do I prepare a 10% APS solution for gel polymerization?
Dissolve 1g of Ammonium Persulphate in 10ml of deionized water. Use immediately, as the solution degrades over time.
Is this product suitable for PCR?
Yes, the molecular biology grade is ideal for PCR as it helps activate Taq polymerase without introducing contaminants.
What pack sizes are available?
eqipped offers 100g, 500g, and 1kg packs to suit different lab requirements. Bulk orders are also available upon request.
