N,N′-Methylenebisacrylamide (MBAm or MBAA)[1] is a cross-linking agent[2] used during the formation of polymers such as polyacrylamide. Its molecular formula is C7H10N2O2. Bisacrylamide is used in biochemistry as it is one of the compounds of the polyacrylamide gel (used for SDS-PAGE).
N, N′-Methylenebisacrylamide is a cross-linking agent used during the formation of polymers such as polyacrylamide. Its molecular formula is C₇H₁₀N₂O₂. Bisacrylamide is used in biochemistry as it is one of the compounds of the polyacrylamide gelPolyacrylamide gel with small pores helps to examine smaller molecules better since the small molecules can enter the pores and travel through the gel while large molecules get trapped at the pore openings.
Bis-acrylamide is used to create crosslinks between acrylamide to generate polyacrylamide gel in electrophoresis gels. The ratio of bis-acrylamide to acrylamide manipulates the porous characteristics of the polyacrylamide gel. Storage/Handling: Store at 2-8 °C. Product is air and light sensitive.
