Polyacrylamide Gel

Precast gels are able to use and offer greater convenience, more stringent internal control , and better reproducibility than handcast gels. Many precast gels also provide a time period of up to 12 months, allowing gels to be stored and used as required (this isn't possible with handcast gels, as they degrade within a couple of days).

Handcast gels, on the opposite hand, must be prepared from acrylamide and bis-acrylamide monomer solution; the component solutions are prepared, mixed together, then poured between two glass plates to polymerize (see Handcasting Polyacrylamide Gels for detailed protocols). Acrylamide and bis-acrylamide are neurotoxins when in solution, so care must be taken to avoid direct contact with the solutions and to wash up any spills. additionally , the casting process requires hours to finish and isn't as controlled because it is by gel manufacturers, so handcast gels are more irregular and fewer reproducible.
