  Binding Membranes for Molecular Biology
   

mdi binding membranes are uniform, paper thin, white plastic supports, having specially designed porous structure and binding sites suitable for transfer and hybridization of biological molecules.

mdi offers a wide range of binding membranes viz. Nitrocellulose, Nylon-66, and PVDF, exhibiting a range of properties to suit various applications.

  Special Features
 
  • High binding capacities of the transferred molecules
  • Good wettabilty for Nitrocellulose and Nylon-66 membranes. PVDF membranes
    are hydrophobic
  • Ability to retain the molecules without affecting its biological activity
  • Chemical compatibility and mechanical durability under conditions of use
  • Ability to be blocked by simple procedures
  • High signal to noise ratio
  For special applications, mdi offers internally supported binding membranes which
exhibit very high mechanical strength.

 

  Nitrocellulose Membrane Type- SCN and SCNJ
 
SCN
Pure nitrocellulose membrane produced specially for life sciences applications.
SCNJ
Internally supported to offer superior handlability.
Characteristics
  • High binding capacities for proteins and nucleic acid molecules
  • Minimum background: High signal to noise ratio
  • Uniform and easy wettability
  • Can be blocked by normal blocking methods
  • Does not bind common protein stains
  • Compatible with colorimetric, radiolabelled, chemiluminescent, fluorescent,
    and staining detection methods
Applications
  • Protein blotting
  • Dot and slot blots
  • Nucleic acid dot/slot blots
  • colony/plaque lifts
  • Enzyme immunoassays.
Packaging
Sealed in aluminium bags to maintain hydrophilicity and high protein binding on prolonged storage. The separators are of pure polyester film to avoid any contamination of the membrane from the separator.

  PVDF Membrane – Type SVF
 
mdi Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane is a naturally hydrophobic support matrix which offers much higher protein binding capacities than that of Nitrocellulose membrane and also binds difficult to bind proteins such as glycoproteins.  
Characteristics
  • Very high binding capacities
  • Minimal background: High signal to noise ratio
  • Remains flexible and non-brittle after processing
  • Chemically resistant to harsh reagents making it a
    convenient matrix for protein sequencing
  • Higher strength than pure nitrocellulose
  • Compatible with all types of detection methods
Applications
  • Ideal support matrix for protein sequencing
  • For high performance, reproducible western blotting
  • For protein staining, glycolipid detection and immunoblotting

  Nylon-66 Membrane Type - SNNP and SNNPZ
 
SNNP
Internally supported Nylon-66 membranes
SNNPZ
Positively charged for enhanced binding of negatively charged molecules
Characteristics
  • Very high binding capacities for nucleic acid molecules
  • Easy wettabilty
  • Ultra violet cross linkable
  • Chemically resistant; tolerant to alkali fixation
Applications
  • Nucleic acid transfers
  • Dots/slot blots
  • Colony/plaque lifts
  • Multiple re probing.
