Dust-free SDS and applications of SDS.
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is a detergent that removes certain protein structures and coats proteins giving them a negative charge allowing them to travel through the polyacrylamide gel towards the positively charged anode.
Dust-Free™ SDS is an innovative pellet form of SDS specifically designed to prevent aerosolized dust when preparing SDS solutions. Dust inhalation from standard grade SDS can lead to coughing, shortness of breath, and nasal passage irritation which can be especially harmful to those with respiratory complications. By using Dust-Free™ SDS, the dust-related issues are essentially eliminated.
