Gel-Casting and Polymerization Reagents
Polyacrylamide solutions, buffers, polymerizing agents and catalysts for pouring and casting protein electrophoresis gels for SDS-PAGE.
Although pre-cast gels provide the greatest convenience and speed for routine protein electrophoresis, certain experiments require specialized polyacrylamide or gel-buffer formulations that are not available in pre-cast form. In these situations, the following reagents are essential.
