General description

  • Protein binding capacity (over 200 μg/cm2) for easy signal detection
  • Chemical resistance needed for N-terminal sequencing
  • High protein retention even after harsh wash steps
  • Maximum capture of proteins during transfers minimizing sample loss
  • 0.2 μm pore size for higher surface area, resulting in better binding of low molecular weight proteins
  • Compatible for use with Western blotting applications
  • Available in popular pre-cut sizes for your application
  • Protein binding ability over 125 μg/cm2
  • Extremely low backgrounds with chemiluminescent and colorimetric applications providing you with clear signals and sharp bands
  • Excellent results with general protein stains such as Coomassie Brilliant Blue, Amido Black and Ponceau S Red
  • Increased strength allows for multiple stripping and reprobing, which results in savings

Westran Blotting Sandwiches
A pre-cut PVDF membrane and 2 sheets of 3MM Chr blotting paper are prepackaged into a sandwich to help save time. Sandwiches are available with either Westran S or CS.

Westran® PVDF Membranes

Whatman Westran PVDF (Polyvinylidine Fluoride) membranes are available in two formats: the Westran S used for protein sequencing and the Westran Clear Signal used for Western blotting.

Westran S
Westran S PVDF is a 0.2 μm pore size hydrophobic membrane designed specifically for protein sequencing applications. The small pore size of this membrane eliminates ‘blow-through′ and increases protein binding over a wide range of molecular weights.

Westran Clear Signal
Westran Clear Signal (CS) PVDF is a 0.45 μm membrane specifically designed for Western blotting and protein dot-blotting applications.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent carcinogen that can induce hepatocellular carcinoma. AFB1-8,9-exo-epoxide, one of AFB1 metabolites, acts as a mutagen to react with DNA and induce gene mutations, including the tumor suppressor p53. In addition, AFB1 reportedly stimulates IGF
