Cytiva's Whatman™ 10402548 Protran™ BA85 Nitrocellulose Blotting Membrane Filter (Box of 50)

The 0.45µm pore size of Cytiva's Whatman BA85 nitrocellulose blotting membrane filters are suitable for larger molecular weight samples. Protran™ blotting membranes have the best handling strength of all pure nitrocellulose membranes. They are compatible with a variety of detection methods, including isotopic, chemiluminescent (luminol-based), colorimetric and fluorescent. Unlike PVDF membranes, Protran nitrocellulose does not require a methanol prewetting step. This makes Protran the membrane of choice for proteins which prefer aqueous environments. Prior to transfer, the membrane is simply wetted in water, and then placed in the transfer buffer. No other pretreatment steps are necessary. High binding, low background: In addition to high binding capacity, Protran nitrocellulose membranes inherently have very low background. The superior surface properties of the membrane guarantee superior signal-to-noise ratios, without the need for stringent washing conditions. Diameter: 137mm, Retention: 0.45µm. Box of 50.
