Ideal for a wide variety of protein-analysis applications, these membranes with 0.2μm pore sizes feature naturally hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride filter media.

The FluoroTrans? media are white, microporous solid phase supports that bind proteins tenaciously via hydrophobic interactions

Filter membranes are resistant to a wide range of chemical solvents (i.e., acetone, DMSO, dimethyl formamide) and will not shrink during destaining with methanol. Resistance to trifluoroacetic acid and triethylamine allows direct insertion of FluoroTrans? membrane materials into amino acid analyzers and gas phase protein sequencing equipment.

The FluoroTrans? PVDF membrane is optimized for N-terminal protein sequencing and features good signal-to-noise with standard detection systems. Immobilized proteins can be used directly for sequencing or visually detected with common staining reagents, including Amido Black, Ponceau S, and colloidal gold.

The FluoroTrans? W membrane is optimized for Western transfer applications but can also be used for Southern transfers. This membrane allows for sensitive protein detection with low background and very low protein burn-through. Immobilized proteins can be visually detected with Coomassie blue, Amido Black, Ponceau S, and colloidal gold.
