Description

Nitrocellulose is a popular binding matrix for western blotting because of its high affinity for proteins and compatibility with a variety of detection methods (western blotting, dot-blot assays, and other protein or nucleic acid methods). The 0.45-μm pore size is well-suited for a wide range of western blotting conditions and ideal for the transfer of most proteins (>20 kDa) and nucleic acids (>300 bp).

Features include:
• 100% pure nitrocellulose membrane
• Convenient—save time with pre-cut sheets or choose the roll format for the flexibility to cut to the ideal size
• Compatible with commonly used transfer conditions and detection methods such as staining, immunodetection, chemiluminescence, fluorescence, and radiolabeling
• High-binding affinity—provides excellent protein binding, blocks easily, and does not require pre-wetting with alcohol
• Low background: produce high-quality data with low background signal in both chemiluminescent and fluorescent western blotting
