Product Description
CAS#: 7727-54-0
An oxidizer used to make polyacrylamide gels for protein electrophoresis and sequencing
Ammonium persulfate is a potent oxidizer that promotes polymerization of acrylamide gels by scavenging dissolved oxygen in the polyacrylamide gel solution. This accelerates the acrylamide/bisacrylamide reaction
