Hi, I need to cast a polyacrylamide gel at acidic pH and it is said in some book that methelyne blue acts much better than TEMED as catalyst for polymerization under acidic conditions. However I wasn't able to find more details about this recipe. Has anyone here had experience with Methelyne Blue for polyacrylamide gel? I'd appreciate any tips and suggestions. Thanks!
