Overview

  • Product name
    Low Fluorescence Western Membrane (PVDF)
    See all Western blot membrane reagents
  • Tested applications
    Suitable for: WBmore details
  • General notes

    Pre-cut membranes (10 sheets, 7 x 9 cm), compatible with gels 10 x 10 cm and smaller. Note: PVDF membranes must be activated prior to use. Membrane activation protocol: 1. Pre-wet the membrane in methanol for a few moments until the membrane is completely wet. 2. Transfer the wet membrane from methanol to purified water and incubate on a rocker or shaker for at least 5 minutes. Make sure that the membrane is fully immersed in water and does not float on the water’s surface. 3. Transfer the membrane from water to transfer buffer, and incubate for 5 minutes.

PVDF membrane with Optiblot reagents works like charm with excellent results when developed

 Excellent Excellent 5/5 (Ease of Use)
Abreviews
We tried other popular PVDF membranes and just didn't get the sort of clarity we wanted until we started using the Optiblot reagent kits. The PVDF is recommended for use with the Optiblot kits and we have be able to obtain excellent transfer of protein from 17-well and 12-well Optiblot gels onto the membranes as well subsequent detection of a weakly expressed membrane protein.

The image is taken straight after blotting for 2 and a half hour in the Optiblot reagents, followed by Ponceau S staining for 1 minute, with ladder in blue and 17-lanes of protein (70ug per lane). The developed images is for detection of Beta-Actin.
The membrane itself is quite robust to stripping and not prone to tearing.
Overall, compared to other PVDF membranes, when combined with the Optblot reagents, we have seen a successful series of blots and detection of proteins.

Thank you very much for your information.   If I am transferring a small protein molecule around 3 kDa MW, what transfer condition would you recommend me to use in terms of voltage and time of transfer using this membrane?

I just noticed that I had forgotten to add the Western Blot guide that I mentioned in the last email. I have attached the guide to this email.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

Thank you for contacting us.

Generally when transferring a very small protein, it is best to use a semi-dry transfer procedure. These usually run at 100V for 40-60 minutes. I would recommend transfer times at the lower end to this range. I...

Customer kindly contacted us regarding the pore size of the PVDF membranes (ab133411) as well as for further information about other products.

Thank you for contacting us.

I have been in contact with the lab regarding ab133411. The pore size of the PVDF membrane is 0.45um

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any ...
