This also reduces the moisture between gel and membrane for having better contact between both and thus better transfer. It is important not having air bubbles between the membrane and the gel: roll out the membrane e.g. The membrane once placed onto the Gel should not be moved further (protein can already adsorb). Also the gel should be equilibrated for 15 min in ice-cold Transfer-buffer (otherwise shrinking will occure resulting in a distorted transfer-pattern). The membranes as well as the filterpaper are pre-soaked with Transfer-buffer (PVDF-membranes are additionally activated with MeOH previously) for ~ 15 min. Make sure that gel, membrane and paper are from the same size: large overhangs can prevent efficient current and transfer of the proteins. Therefore, it is important not to touch those membranes with your fingers (use gloves!). The main characteristic of the membrane is that it adsorbs protein. The proteins, separated by a SDS-PAGE, are transfered onto a membrane applying an electric field.

Power Blotter Pre-cut Membranes and Filters combined with Power Blotter 1-Step Transfer Buffer allow for high-efficiency semi-dry transfer of proteins in less than 10 minutes.TRANSFERENCE OF PROTEINS ON A MEMBRANE AND SPECIFIC DETECTION WITH ANTIBODIESġ) Transfer of the protein on the membrane (blotting)Ģ) Saturation of free binding site of the membrane (blocking)ģ) Specific detection of Your Favorite Protein (YFP) with antibodiesĪ nice animation was made by Lodish et al. The pre-cut membranes and filters include 20 sheets of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) or nitrocellulose and 80 sheets of absorbent blotting paper (0.85 mm thickness). Invitrogen Power Blotter Pre-cut Membranes and Filters are designed for the transfer of proteins using the Power Blotter System. The protein binding capacity is 209 µg/cm 2. The proteins bind to the membrane through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. The membrane is compatible with commonly used detection methods such as staining, chemiluminescence, and fluorescence. The nitrocellulose membrane (0.2 µm pore size) in the stack is composed of 100% pure nitrocellulose to provide high-quality transfer. This membrane has lower background levels and increased sensitivity for fluorescent probing than regular PVDF or nitrocellulose membranes. The proteins bind to the membrane through hydrophobic interactions. The membrane is compatible with commonly used detection methods such as staining, immunodetection, and fluorescence. The PVDF membrane (0.45 µm pore size, low fluorescence) has higher binding capacity than nitrocellulose. Each Power Blotter Select Transfer Stack contains filter paper, membrane, and the appropriate cathode and anode buffers incorporated into a solid gel matrix to allow fast, reliable transfer of proteins. They are disposable, pre-assembled stacks that come with an integrated preactivated PVDF or nitrocellulose transfer membrane for dry blotting of proteins from polyacrylamide gels. The Invitrogen Power Blotter Select Transfer Stacks are used to transfer proteins using the Power Blotter System. The regular size (13 cm x 8.3 cm) can be used for all Invitrogen midi gels (or other midi gel types), or two Invitrogen mini gels (or other mini gel types), and E-PAGE 48 or 96 gels. The mini size (8 cm x 8 cm) can be used for all Invitrogen precast and handcast mini gels (or other mini gel types). The protein binding capacity is 240 µg/cm 2. The proteins bind to the membrane due to hydrophobic interactions. The membrane is compatible with commonly used detection methods such as staining, immunodetection, fluorescence, or radiolabeling. The PVDF membrane is preactivated and ready for use without any pretreatment with alcohols. The PVDF membrane (0.2 µm pore size, low fluorescence) in this stack has higher binding capacity than nitrocellulose. The proteins bind to the membrane due to hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. The nitrocellulose membrane (0.2 µm pore size) in this stack is composed of 100% pure nitrocellulose to provide high-quality transfer. Each transfer stack contains a copper coated electrode and appropriate cathode and anode buffers in the gel matrix to allow fast, reliable transfer of proteins. IBlot and iBlot 2 Transfer Stacks are consumable stacks with integrated PVDF or nitrocellulose transfer membranes for dry blotting of proteins.
