This membrane has broad chemical compatibility, which is important when used with common stains such as Amido Black, Colloidal Gold, Coomassie Blue, India Ink and Ponceau-S. This PVDF membrane will not degrade, distort or shrink when a high concentration of methanol is used for destaining. Its exceptional strength, high binding capacity and chemical compatibility make GVS PVDF membrane ideal for use in Western blots, immunoblotting, and solid phase assays and plaque lifts.
