Thermo Scientific™ Biodyne™ A Nylon Membrane, 0.45 μm, 8 cm x 12 cm

Description

• Thermo Scientific™ Biodyne A and Biodyne B Nylon Membranes are sheets of unmodified or positively charged Nylon that provide excellent binding characteristics for nucleic acid transfer, blotting and detection methods
• These two varieties of nylon membrane are manufactured with a similar matrix pore size (0.4 micron), and both are supplied in packages of 8 x 12cm sheets
• The Biodyne A Membrane contains both negatively and positively charged groups, enabling it to bind many kinds of macromolecules
• The Biodyne B Membrane contains exclusively positive charges, providing the highest possible binding capacity for negatively charged molecules like DNA and RNA
• The membranes are resistant to heat and solvents and will not shrink, crack or tear
• Highlights: Versatile and durable – achieve strong DNA binding by baking or UV-crosslinking without damaging the membrane Easy to use – pre-cut 8 x 12cm sheets are the ideal size for standard mini-gel transfers and microplate dot-blots High signal-to-noise ratio – lower background than nitrocellulose and most other nylon transfer membranes Biodyne A Nylon Membrane Offers superior signal-to-noise ratios resulting in high sensitivities Provides extremely low backgrounds Contains 50% amino and 50% carboxyl groups Provides a hydrophilic surface with an isoelectric point at pH 6.5 Biodyne B Nylon Membrane Surface is modified with Positive Zeta Potential Provides high sensitivities Gives rapid nucleic acid binding without UV light or baking Enhances attraction of negatively charged biological molecules
