GVS Neutral Nylon Transfer Membrane is a pure polymer impregnated in by an inert polyester web. It is naturally hydrophilic and optimized for protein binding and for high, reproducible binding of nucleic acids.
This controlled microporous nylon membrane is cast on an inert, internal support web that gives it added dimensional strength and stability to prevent cracking, tearing, curling and breaking. This added strength and durability is essential in protocols that require aggressive handling, such as colony lifts and plaque lifts. In addition to the dimensional strength and durability of GVS Neutral Nylon Transfer Membrane, its retention of macromolecules can also be enhanced using UV crosslinking. This process can be used to maximize the signal retention of nucleic acids and preserve the integrity of DNA or RNA transfers. The purity and consistency of GVS Neutral Nylon Transfer Membrane, coupled with its added durability and sensitivity, make it an ideal membrane for use in medical research, scientific studies or test confirmations where precise biological pattern replications, such as DNA and RNA transfers, are integral to the success of the procedure.
Features:
Supported: has added strength and durability preventing distortion or contamination in multiple reprobings
