AMMONIUM PERSULPHATE (For Molecular Biology) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This AMMONIUM PERSULPHATE is meant for use in molecular biology. This inorganic compound is an ammonium salt of sulphur. It is soluble in water and moderately soluble in MeOH. Ammonium persulphate can be generated from the electrolysis of a cold concentrated solution of either ammonium sulphate or ammonium bisulphate in sulphuric acid at a high current density. Ammonium persulphate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound is majorly used as an oxidizing agent and source of free radicals. styrene-butadiene rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene are important polymers produced from this compound. It is an extensively used reagent in biochemistry and molecular biology for the preparation of polyacrylamide gels. It is additionally used to etch copper on printed circuit boards as an alternative to ferric chloride solution.
