FAQs of Crosslinking Resin:
Q: How should the crosslinking resin be stored to maximize shelf life?
A: To achieve the full 12-month shelf life, the resin should be stored in its drum packaging in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. This helps maintain its viscosity and effectiveness for polyacrylamide gel applications.
Q: What is the recommended pH range for using this resin in gel formulations?
A: The crosslinking resin performs optimally within a pH range of 7.0 to 9.0. Operating within this range enhances its solubility and crosslinking efficiency in polyacrylamide gel production.
Q: Where can this crosslinking resin be sourced in India?
A: This product is available through established distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers across India. It is packaged in drums and delivered adhering to industrial standards for quality and purity.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this resin for polyacrylamide gels?
A: Using this resin offers high purity (99%), uniform crosslinking, and stable gel formation. Its water solubility simplifies processing and enables consistent results in analytical and preparative gel applications.
Q: How is the resin typically applied in polyacrylamide gel preparation?
A: The liquid resin is dissolved in water and mixed into the gel formulation under controlled conditions, ensuring proper viscosity (75-150 cps at 25C) and molecular weight parameters for optimal crosslinking performance.
Q: When should the resin be replaced or disposed of?
A: Replacement is necessary if the resin has surpassed its 12-month shelf life, or if there are noticeable changes in color, viscosity, or solubility, indicating degraded quality.
