QUICK LINKS

N,N′-Bis(acryloyl)cystamine (BAC) is used as a reversible cross-linker for polyacrylamide gels. The disulfide linkage can be broken with a suitable reducing agent. A 12:1 ratio of acrylamide:N,N′-Bis(acryloyl)cystamine is recommended for DNA purification. A one gram slice of a 4% gel will dissolve in 5 mL of 100 mM DTT, TBE solution (pH 8.3) in less than 30 min. The pH of 8.3 is optimum for rapid dissolution of the gel.

Is this soluble in Ideally water, but anything that will work? And at what concentration??

Asked by: Jz28sail
Thank you for your question. The sc-215506, N,N'-Bis(acryloyl)cystamine cross-linker product is only slightly soluble in water, however solubility at up to 50 mg/ml in acetic acid has been reported.
