Transfer Buffers & Reagents

A lab worker wearing purple gloves holds a pair of blue scissors while standing behind a set of buffers and reagents.

Protein transfer is a critical step in Western blotting techniques. Premixed transfer buffers offer consistent, highly reliable protein transfer in convenient ready-to-use options. High-quality electrophoresis-grade chemicals can also be used to make fresh transfer buffer in customizable volumes as needed. Specially formulated, high purity transfer buffer reagents and chemicals are available for optimal protein transfer to PVDF or nitrocellulose and superior Western blotting results.
