Description
Gel blotting papers (GB005) are thick absorbent sheets for transfer of proteins to membranes in Western blotting and related blotting workflows. Each sheet measures 150 × 150 mm with a thickness of 1,5 mm, providing substantial buffer capacity in semi-dry or tank transfer stacks. The pack contains 25 sheets supplied in a cardboard box under the Whatman® line. These GB005 papers help maintain even contact and buffer distribution between gel and membrane during electrophoretic transfer in life-science laboratories. Cut or use full-size as required for mini-gel formats and standard blot cassettes. Available from manufacturer Cytiva, the papers fit applications such as Western blot and ELISA sample preparation where reliable wicking media support protein transfer. The defined thickness and sheet count make the pack practical for routine blotting series in research, core facility and teaching laboratories focused on protein analysis.
This article is part of Blotting membranes & papers, in Protein biology & Western blot.

What is this article?
Gel-Blotting-papers (GB005), thick. 1.5 mm, 150 x 150 mm,, 25 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.
