Questions about Blotting membranes & papers
Nitrocellulose or PVDF: which blotting membrane should I choose?
Nitrocellulose binds proteins well, gives low background and needs no activation. PVDF is mechanically stronger, withstands stripping and reprobing, and suits protein sequencing; wet it briefly in methanol before use. Nylon membranes are mainly used for DNA and RNA blots. For a standard Western blot, both nitrocellulose and PVDF work. Pore size matters too: smaller pores retain small proteins better. Related products are in protein biology and Western blot. For a quote or a second opinion, write to sales@luminixhealth.com.
0.2 or 0.45 µm pore size?
A 0.45 µm membrane suits most proteins in a routine Western blot. Choose 0.2 µm for small proteins and peptides, which can pass through a wider pore during transfer and get lost. Check the pore size and the protein range of a membrane on the product page and compare them with your target before ordering. Both versions are in blotting membranes and papers. Questions about a specific product? Contact sales@luminixhealth.com.
Which blotting paper (filter paper) do I need for wet or semi-dry blotting?
For semi-dry blotting, use thick, absorbent paper, because it holds the transfer buffer that the system needs. In a wet tank, thinner paper in the blotting sandwich is enough. Cut the sheets to the size of your gel, or choose pre-cut sheets to save time and get even contact. Tanks, blotters and power supplies are in electrophoresis systems and power supplies. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.
What do I need after transfer: blocking and incubation?
First block the membrane with a blocking agent, such as skimmed milk powder or BSA, so free binding sites are occupied and the antibody binds only to your target. Then incubate in a tray with the primary and secondary antibodies, with wash steps in between. Small trays save antibody solution. Follow the incubation times and dilutions given in your protocol. Keep the membrane wet throughout, as a dried membrane gives high background. Antibodies are in primary antibodies and secondary antibodies. Need advice for your set-up? Mail sales@luminixhealth.com.
Why Blotting membranes & papers?
A blotting membrane, nitrocellulose or PVDF, binds proteins transferred out of a gel. Pore size, 0.2 µm or 0.45 µm, and the format, roll or pre-cut, are the choices. PVDF is activated in methanol. The papers and the sponges around it in the cassette are part of the same stack.
Protein work separates a mixture, then asks which protein is which. Extraction and purification take the protein out of the cell. A marker shows the masses. A Western blot moves the separated proteins onto a membrane and probes them with an antibody. The membrane, nitrocellulose or PVDF, has to bind the protein and survive the washes. Antibodies and methods are in PubMed. Reference material is at ATCC.
