Acrylic Monomers (Neutral, Monofunctional)
Monofunctional acrylics shape the type and nature of the main chain polymer backbone. Monomers are chosen to obtain the desired glass transition temperature, flexibility, mechanical strength, polarity and hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of the resulting polymer. Generally, acrylamides exhibit improved resistance to hydrolysis compared to acrylic/methacrylic esters.
  1. Acrylamide, Chemzymes Ultra Pure®

    Specific conductance of 35% (w/v) solution 2µmho/cm. Used in electrophoresis for separation of nucleic acid fragments and proteins. For precision gels used in electro-phoresis and isoelectric focusing. Because of the low acidity levels of our acrylamide, binding of ampholytes is virtually eliminated and fine pH gradients can be established. Fluorescence-free gels are readily prepared. For scanning of gels n the UV region, our Ultra Pure grade acrylamide makes gels with baselines having very low "noise".
