Description: TEMED is the abbreviation for N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethylenediamine, a tertiary amine used to catalyze formation of free radicals from Ammonium Persulphate and Riboflavin. The free radicals will cause acrylamide and bis-acrylamide to polymerize to form a gel matrix which can be used for sieving macromolecules. Suitable for electrophoresis and tested as a catalyst for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
