Whatman GB005 Blotting Paper - 10426972

Whatman's brand recognition and documented performance history support specification of its papers in standardized blotting and chromatography protocols. The gel blotting paper supports protein and nucleic-acid transfer with high buffer capacity. The same gel blotting paper handles protein and nucleic-acid transfer alike while keeping transfers clean through additive-free cellulose and keeps band patterns sharp and transfer complete. Where gel drying follows the run, the thick absorbent paper backs the gel for clean, even support.

Key Characteristics

• Supports gel drying and colony or plaque-lift lysis and denaturation
• Thick, highly absorbent paper holds a large reservoir of transfer buffer
• Pure cotton-linter cellulose with no additives keeps transfers clean and reproducible
• Backs the membrane as the buffer reservoir in semi-dry and tank electroblotting
• Uniform thickness presses gel and membrane into even contact for sharp bands

Clean, additive-free paper keeps your blots free of the contamination that ruins detection. Pure cotton-linter cellulose keeps your transfers clean and reproducible across your blotting and transfer workflows.

• Nucleic Acid Transfer - Backs the gel and feeds buffer for even electrophoretic transfer of DNA and RNA onto the membrane.
• Gel Drying - Backs polyacrylamide and agarose gels during drying with thick, uniform, highly absorbent cellulose support.
• Colony and Plaque Lifts - Supports lysis and denaturation steps on an absorbent, additive-free, high-purity cellulose paper surface.
• Tank Transfer - Backs the membrane in wet-tank electroblotting and feeds transfer buffer steadily through the full transfer run.
• Membrane Gel Support - Holds the gel and membrane in even contact so transferred band patterns stay sharp and reproducible.
• Western Blotting - Drives complete protein transfer with high absorbency and even pressure across the gel-membrane sandwich.
