Transfer Buffer (10X, Electro Blotting)

The 10X Transfer Buffer-Electro Blotting is the most common buffer used in the wet transfer system for the electro transfer of proteins. The buffer facilitates protein transfer from SDS-PAGE gels to nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes. Ready-to-use solution once diluted to 1X working concentration; Methanol can be added to the final concentration of 10-20% (v/v) as per user protocol. This buffer prevents the gel from swelling during transfer and enhances efficiency of low abundancy proteins and protein binding to nitrocellulose membrane. This buffer is also used as a running buffer for native protein gel electrophoresis.
