What are the advantages of Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) Membranes?

Posted June 24, 2024


Answer

PVDF membranes are more robust and resistant to chemicals compared to nitrocellulose membranes. PVDF membranes also provide higher sensitivity in protein detection, potentially due to their enhanced protein binding capabilities. They also offer versatile binding properties, allowing for interactions through both hydrophobic and dipole interactions. PVDF membranes are also suited for stripping and reprobing experiments.
