Whatman GB003 Blotting Paper - 10427813

Whatman's expertise in cellulose paper production guides the grade selection and quality control behind every sheet, roll, and circle. A deep cotton-linter cellulose reservoir keeps the blot saturated from the first minute of transfer to the last. Gel blotting paper backs the membrane as the buffer reservoir in electroblotting while spreading pressure evenly for reproducible transfer and also dries gels and supports colony and plaque lifts. When electroblotting must run to completion, the high buffer capacity of gel blotting paper sustains an even transfer.

Key Characteristics

• Thick, highly absorbent paper holds a large reservoir of transfer buffer
• 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
• Higher buffer capacity lets fewer paper layers carry a complete transfer
• Supports gel drying and colony or plaque-lift lysis and denaturation

An even, complete transfer keeps your Western, Southern, and Northern blots reproducible from gel to membrane. Uniform buffer wicking carries your transfer evenly to completion across semi-dry, tank, and capillary blotting setups. Send your transfer or chromatography setup to our technical service team and request a paper grade recommendation.

• 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.
• Buffer Reservoir - Holds a deep reserve of transfer buffer and feeds it steadily across the membrane through long electroblotting runs.
• Semi-Dry Blotting - Holds a high buffer reservoir for even semi-dry electrophoretic transfer of proteins from gel to membrane.
• Membrane Gel Support - Holds the gel and membrane in even contact so transferred band patterns stay sharp and reproducible.
