mdi’s binding membranes are uniform, paper thin, white plastic supports having specially designed porous structures and binding site suitable for transfer and hybridization of biological molecules. These membranes offer a number of key features:
- High binding capacities for the transferred molecules
- Nitrocellulose membranes exhibit good wettability
- PVDF membranes are hydrophobic
- Retains molecules without affecting their biological activity
- Chemical compatibility and mechanical durability
- Ability to be block by simple procedures
- High signal to noise ratio
Types Available:
- SCN: pure nitrocellulose membrane produced specially for life science applications
- SCNJ: internally supported to offer superior ease of handling
Applications:
- Protein blotting
- Dot and slot blots
- Nucleic acid dot/slot blots
- Colony/plaque lifts
- Enzyme immunoassays
SVF: this PVDF membrane is a naturally hydrophobic support matrix which offers much higher protein binding capacities than that of Nitrocellulose membrane and also binds difficult to bind proteins such as glycoproteins.
Downstream Applications:
- Ideal support matrix for protein sequencing
- For high performance, reproducible Western Blotting
- For protein staining, glycolipid detection, and immunoblotting
