Description
Gel-blotting papers (GB005) are thick blotting sheets intended for transfer of proteins to membranes in Western blotting and related electrophoresis workflows. Each sheet measures 580 × 580 mm with a thickness of 1,5 mm, giving substantial absorbency and buffer capacity for gel-to-membrane contact. The GB005 grade belongs to the Whatman® blotting-paper range and is supplied as 25 sheets in a cardboard box from manufacturer Cytiva. Large-format sheets can be cut to match common gel sizes while retaining uniform wicking behaviour across the working area. These papers support protein immobilisation steps used in Western blot and ELISA-related transfer protocols in molecular biology and life-science laboratories. The thick construction helps maintain even liquid distribution between gel and membrane during semi-dry or tank blotting setups. Packaged for routine bench use, the 25-sheet unit suits laboratories that require consistent blotting media for repeated transfer experiments without frequent reordering.
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, 580 x 580 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.
