Recommended Use
A primary component of polyacrylamide gels used for sequencing. A sequencing gel is a high-resolution denaturing polyacrylamide gel (typically 6% or 8%) designed to fractionate radiolabeled single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides on the basis of size.

Recipe for a 6%, 100mL gel:
Add:    6 g acrylamide:bisacrylamide, 19:1 (or 15 mL of 40% solution), 48 g Urea, 10 mL of 10X TBE buffer
(if using a Klenow or Reverse Transcriptase kit) or 5 mL of 20X modified TBE buffer (if using a TaqPolymerase kit). Bring to a final volume of 99 mL with water. Mix with a stir bar until completely dissolved. Filter sterilize.

Add:    1.0 mL of 10% Ammonium persulfate (APS) and 50mL TEMED
    Pour gel immediately. Allow to polymerize for 1 hour.

To make a 40% solution:
    For the 40 g size, add 63 mL double distilled H2O directly to the bottle.
    For the 200 g size, add 325 mL double distilled H2O directly to the bottle.

Storage
Store at +4°C. Keep tightly sealed. Protect from moisture.

Warning
Poison/Neurotoxin/Lachrymator. Suspected carcinogen. May be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Avoid breading dust. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly with water after handling. See Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information.
