ChemiPURE TN,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) is a widely used organic compound that serves as an efficient catalyst for the polymerization of acrylamide and bis-acrylamide in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). By accelerating the decomposition of ammonium persulfate (APS) into free radicals, TEMED facilitates rapid and uniform gel formation, ensuring consistent polymerization. Due to its high catalytic efficiency, TEMED is an essential component in SDS-PAGE and native PAGE applications, contributing to reproducible gel quality and reliable protein separation results.
