About Acrylamide, for molecular biology, 99%+

Acrylamide is a molecular biology reagent (Molecular Biology grade) carrying the CAS registry number 79-06-1 at a purity of ≥99%. Its molecular formula is C3H5NO and its molecular weight is 71.08 g/mol. Systematically, it is named prop-2-enamide. Common synonyms include 2-Propenamide and Acrylic acid amide.

In its supplied form it is a white powder. Literature values give a melting point of 82-86 °C and a boiling point of 125 °C. Store sealed in a dry, well-ventilated location away from incompatible materials. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for electrophoresis, DNA/RNA workflows, protein analysis and molecular biology workflows. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and diagnostics and biotechnology.

Available in 100 g, 500 g, 5 kg and 25 kg packs, Acrylamide is dispatched with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to destinations worldwide.
