Description
Gel blotting papers (GB005) are thick chromatography-style sheets designed for gel blotting and protein transfer workflows, supplied as Whatman® media in a practical laboratory format. Each sheet measures 200 × 200 mm with a thickness of 1,5 mm, providing a substantial absorbent layer for Western blot and related membrane-transfer setups. The pack contains 25 sheets presented in a cardboard box, suitable for repeated use across electrophoresis and blotting sessions. These papers help maintain even contact and buffer wicking between gels and transfer membranes during tank or semi-dry procedures. Product from manufacturer Cytiva under the Whatman® GB005 designation fits standard blotting benches where cut-to-size thick blot paper is preferred. Dimensions support common mini-gel and comparable membrane formats without excessive trimming waste. Laboratories use GB005 sheets when reliable thickness and sheet count matter for reproducible transfer sandwiches in protein analysis, ELISA-related blotting support, and routine molecular biology sample processing.
This article belongs on Blotting membranes & papers, in Protein biology & Western blot.

Questions about Gel-Blotting-papers (GB005), thick. 1.5 mm, 200 x 200 mm,, 25 sheet(s)
What is this article?
Gel-Blotting-papers (GB005), thick. 1.5 mm, 200 x 200 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 Microbiologie.
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.
