PVDF Transfer Membrane

PVDF Transfer Membrane

Overview

Western Blotting is a method to analyze and quantify proteins. The protein is separated by gel electrophoresis to a solid phase support (PVDF membrane). Antibodies can generate antigen-antibody immune reactions with the target proteins attached to the PVDF membrane. The western blotting technology is to identify and semi quantitatively analyze a specific protein.

Cobetter PVDF transfer membranes feature high sensitivity and low background in Western blotting. The PVDF membrane is hydrophobic and needs to be prewetted by methanol. We offer pre-cut membrane sheets as well as coils. And available in 0.45μm for most Western blotting application and 0.2μm for immunoblotting of low MW proteins <20kDa.

Procedure of Western Blot

The western blotting protocol can be roughly divided into the following 7 steps: cell culture, protein extraction, concentration and exchange, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, membrane transfer, blocking and antibody incubation, and protein detection.

 

Selection Guide of Cobetter PVDF Transfer Membrane

Precautions 

  • Prevent bubbles from entering into the filter paper, gel or membrane
  • For samples contain small peptides, the equilibrium of the gel in the transfer buffer should be limited into 10 minutes
  • When the target protein is less than or is 20kDa, 0.2μm PVDF transfer membrane is preferred
  • The PVDF transfer membrane is only used for laboratory research, and should not be used for clinical diagnosis or treatment
