What are the advantages of polyacrylamide gel?

Advantages of polyacrylamide gel:

• Size of pores is uniform
• Pore size can be manipulated to increase or decrease molecular sieving
• Very high resolving power
• Its chemically synthetic nature results in higher consistency between batches, which gives more reproducible results
• Is non-reactive with samples because of the absence of charge
• Resolution time and run time can be manipulated by using different buffers
• Thin gels can be cast, which leads to more efficient heat dissipation and better separations at higher field strengths
