Description
Gel blotting papers Whatman® 3MM are cellulose sheets specified at 0,34 mm thickness and cut to 460 × 570 mm for protein and nucleic-acid transfer workflows. The generous sheet format allows users to trim custom pads for Western blots, Southern or Northern transfers, and general gel-to-membrane sandwich assemblies. A pack contains 100 sheets supplied in a cardboard box, supporting high-throughput blotting days and shared core facilities. These papers from manufacturer Cytiva provide uniform capillary contact and buffer wicking between gels, membranes, and electrode stacks when prepared according to standard protocols. Laboratories performing ELISA-related transfers or classical wet and semi-dry blotting can stock one size and cut to cassette dimensions as needed. Consistent thickness helps maintain even pressure across the transfer sandwich and reduces local dry spots. The large 460 × 570 mm footprint minimises waste when multiple smaller pads are required from a single sheet. Clear dimensional data simplify ordering and inventory control for molecular-biology and proteomics groups.
This article is part of Blotting membranes & papers, in Protein biology & Western blot.

Questions about Gel-Blotting-papers, Whatman® 3MM, thick. 0.34 mm, 460 x 570 mm,, 100 sheet(s)
What is this article?
Gel-Blotting-papers, Whatman® 3MM, thick. 0.34 mm, 460 x 570 mm,, 100 sheet(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Cytiva for laboratory use. It sits in Blotting membranes & papers, inside Protein biology & Western blot, in Microbiology lab supplies.
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.
