Description
Gel blotting papers, Whatman® 3MM are thick papers designed for gel blotting and protein transfer applications in molecular biology. Each unit is a single roll measuring 10 cm × 100 m with a thickness of 0,34 mm, supplied in a cardboard box for convenient storage and dispensing. These papers provide uniform capillary contact and buffer wicking within blotting sandwiches used for Western blot and related transfer of proteins to membranes. The Whatman® 3MM grade from manufacturer Cytiva is an established choice for electrophoretic and capillary transfer assemblies in protein analysis laboratories. The continuous roll format allows sheets to be cut to custom dimensions for mini-gels, midi-gels, and larger transfer cassettes, reducing waste and matching diverse gel formats. Application areas include blotting, Western blot and ELISA support workflows, and protein transfer to membranes where consistent paper thickness and absorbency contribute to even transfer efficiency and reliable downstream detection in research and analytical laboratories.
This article belongs on Blotting membranes & papers, in Protein biology & Western blot.

Questions about Gel-Blotting-papers, Whatman® 3MM, thick.0.34mm, 10 cm x 100 m, 1 roll(s)
What is this article?
Gel-Blotting-papers, Whatman® 3MM, thick.0.34mm, 10 cm x 100 m, 1 roll(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 Life Science & Microbiology.
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.
