Acrylamide 98%

Acrylamide 98% is a high purity form of acrylamide, a white, crystalline powder commonly used in scientific research and industrial applications. Here's a breakdown of its key points:

Properties:

• Appearance: White crystalline powder [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Odor: Odorless [1]
• Solubility: Highly soluble in water [1, 3, 4]
• Other properties: Melting point 81-87°C, Density 1.12 g/cm3 [3, 4]

Applications:

• Synthesis of polyacrylamide gels: A key component in gels used for electrophoresis, a technique for separating biomolecules like proteins and DNA [1].
• Industrial applications: Acrylamide is also used in the production of various polymers, adhesives, and flocculants [1].

Safety:

Acrylamide 98% is a hazardous material and should be handled with care. Here are some of the safety precautions to consider:

• Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin [1].
• Causes skin irritation and serious eye irritation [1].
• May cause allergic skin reaction [1].
• Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child [1].
• May cause cancer [1].
• Causes damage to organs [1].
• Very toxic to aquatic life [1].

Always consult the safety datasheet (SDS) for specific handling procedures and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with acrylamide.
