N,N’-Methylenebis(acrylamide) (CAT: R029890) is a versatile chemical compound widely used in laboratory applications, especially in gel electrophoresis techniques. This white crystalline powder possesses a neutral odor. It plays a crucial role in gel preparation by acting as a cross-linking agent. When polymerized with acrylamide, it forms cross-links within the resulting polyacrylamide gel matrix. These cross-links create a network structure that enhances the stability and firmness of the gel. This property is particularly valuable in gel electrophoresis, where the gel matrix provides a medium for separating biomolecules based on size and charge.
