Description
Blotting paper Grade BF 3, supplied as 580 × 600 mm sheets, is a high-purity paper grade intended for blotting and chromatography as well as for laboratory work where reliable absorption is essential. Its absorbent character supports sample transfer, wicking, and liquid handling steps typical of molecular biology, while the same properties make it suitable for diagnostics and life-science applications that depend on consistent take-up of aqueous media. The large sheet format allows users to cut custom blot pads, gel-transfer stacks, or protective layers to match gels, membranes, and bench areas. Packs contain 50 sheets and are offered by manufacturer Sartorius for routine laboratory stocking of filter and cover papers. The grade is non-sterile and is positioned for everyday use as filter sheets, protective underlays, and workbench protection wherever clean, absorbent cellulose media are required. High purity helps keep background interference low during blotting and chromatographic separations, giving laboratories a versatile sheet stock for both analytical and protective tasks.

Questions about Blotting papers/ Grade BF 3
What is this article?
Blotting papers/ Grade BF 3 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius 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.
