What are the scientific uses for polyacrylamide?
it is used in gel electrophoresis.....for the separation of DNA fragments
Process that restriction fragments of DNA are separated from each other by the use of electricity?
The process is referred to as gel electrophoresis. This is an analytical process where DNA fragments can be separated based on size within a gel under the influence of an electric field
What is the function of the gel electrophoresis?
Gel electrophoresis is an analytical method used to separate DNA, RNA or proteins based on size
Are cross-linked polyacrylamide crystals poisonous?
Just make sure that you're using Cross-Linked Polyacrylamide Crystals; otherwise, it can contain traces of Acrylamide monomer and that stuff is a neurotoxin. What I use my crystals for is combining with water to create a gel. I use pieces of this gel as a safe water source for worms and crickets that I raise as food source for my pet gecko. Rather than providing water, the gel water source ensures that the insects don't accidentally drown themselves. By purchasing the cross-linked form of the crystals, when my gecko eats the insects I have raised, I don't have to worry about trace amounts of Acrylamide accumulating in his system, which could result in serious health problems later on.
Purpose of gel electrophoresis?
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is used to separate large biomolecules, such as RNA, DNA and proteins, by their size, shape and charge. Proteins can be separated based on their size alone if the sample is treated with a denaturing agent first, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Nucleic acid samples can be separated on size alone through the use of an agarose gel.
What tool does one use to separate DNA fragments?
a Polyacrylamide gel
What are the scientific uses for polyacrylamide?

what is the gel in Gel Electrophoresis?
For larger molecules like proteins we use polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). For smaller pieces like DNA we use agarose gel electrophoresis
What compounds form gel matrices suitable for electrophoresis?
its starch ,agarose and polyacrylamide by mkhaliphi dlamini
What is gel electrophoroses?
The migration of DNA/Protein on the gel (agarose/polyacrylamide) by the influence of electric charge is called gel electrophoresis. It is used to resolve the biomolecules according to their size(mainly) and shape(for proteins)
What determines the pore size of a polyacrylamide gel?
total amount of monomer present (%T) and the amount of cross- linker (%C).
What is the role of acrylamide in SDS PAGE?
Acrylamide forms polymers (polyacrylamide) that acts as a cross-linked matrix to "catch" the proteins as they run across the gel to the positive end. The polyacrylamide gel is composed of different sizes of pores that allows for separation based on size. As a result, small proteins travel faster and bigger proteins travel slower.
What is UV doc software?
I am a researcher and I worked on population genetics of Deers by Microsatellite in IRAN. I have prepared many gel polyacrylamide from primers. I need calculat the Bands on gel for using in POP GENE software.

What is polyacrylamide?
Polyacrylamide is a polymer that absorbs liquid.
What is protein gel..?
If you meant "protein gel electrophoresis" (considering the image on this page) is a very powerful technique and widely used to separate proteins according to their mass, molecular weight and charge. The support most used for this technique is the polyacrylamide.
What is the chemical formula for polyacrylamide?
The chemical formula for polyacrylamide is (C3H5NO)n
