What are the advantages of nylon membranes?

Posted April 10, 2024


Answer

One advantage of nylon membranes is that they excel in capturing abundant proteins due to their high binding capacity. Additionally, nylon membranes are known for their minimal background noise, enhancing the clarity and reliability of protein detection. They work well with various staining techniques and offer the advantage of being easily stripped and reprobed, enabling multiple rounds of antibody probing on a single membrane. Another advantage is their negligible release of substances ensures high purity, preserving the quality of results. Nylon membranes also have an excellent ability to bind nucleic acids. Lastly, these membranes are durable and resistant to tearing and high temperatures, making them suitable in laboratory settings.
