Recommended Use
A primary component of polyacrylamide gels for sequencing and protein electrophoresis.
Use the supplied reference table to determine the correct volumes of AcryliquidTM -40 and the InstaBisTM -2 to make 100 mL of X% Gel. AcryliquidTM -40 is a 40% (w/v) solution of ultra-pure acrylamide in deionized water. To determine the volumes of InstaBisTM -2 and Acryliquid TM-40 to add for gel percentages not listed, use the following formulae:

mL InstaBisTM -2:            mL AcryliquidTM -40:
=2.5    (gel %)        19:1         =2.375 (gel %)         19:1
=1.667     (gel %)        29:1         =2.417 (gel %)         29:1
=1.299     (gel %)        37.5:1         =2.435 (gel %)         37.5:1

Storage
Store InstaBisTM -2 at +4oC. Keep tightly sealed.
