Gel electrophoresis is a fundamental technique for separating molecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins in laboratories across the biological disciplines. But how does polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ...

To maintain the integrity of the newly expanded structure, the sample is then re-embedded in a secondary non-expandable acrylamide gel.

The researchers also created an acrylamide gel in which single-stranded DNA forms an integral part of the gel structure.

Back in 2002, news that acrylamide, a carcinogen in animals, had been found in some foods set off a bit of a panic. Now the FDA has issued a new warning on the chemical in food. But here's the ...

Critical Step Fixation is important for stain sensitivity. Its main function is to immobilize the DNA molecules in the acrylamide gel matrix to avoid diffusion and subsequent image blurring.

Following a comprehensive review, EFSA has published its scientific opinion on acrylamide in food. Experts from EFSA's Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM) have reconfirmed previous ...

A group of 23 scientists convened by the WHO's cancer agency in 2016 looked at coffee - not acrylamide directly - and decided coffee was unlikely to cause breast, prostate or pancreatic cancer ...

Several animal tests have shown acrylamide to be a carcinogen, and a recent study has shown a positive association between acrylamide and breast cancer in humans. "Acrylamide is formed during the ...
