When making gels from polyacrylamide, what kind of properties of the gel I should monitor in order to make sure that I am consistently producing the same every time? Any suggestions? Thank you

What is the best way to make polyesters/polyurethanes out of organic diol monomers with siloxanes?

I know enzyme catalyzed reactions and Ti(OBu)4 catalyzed reactions make such polyesters with siloxanes (PDMS), but are there any other methods?

What are the better conditions for making polyurethanes?

The monomer (di alcohol) is not soluble in chloroform or dichloromethane, and the solubility of di-isocyanate is not an issue. I am using tin octonate as catalyst.

Does anyone know what might be causing the smeared bands on my western blot?

I got these smeared bands quite often lately. We typically run the gel at 140V with a 10-12% gel and do a wet transfer at 220 mA for 1.5 hr in cold room. We also noticed some dirty spots/dots (see...

Ethylene glycol is newtonian or non newtonian fluid?

Some sources say it is treated as Newtonian as ethylene glycol has a higher viscosity than water, which affects the flow characteristics in simulations. But some also say it is non-Newtonian.
