Polyvinylidene difluoride transfer membrane and quantification bca assay

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) transfer membrane is a type of membrane used in Western blotting techniques to transfer proteins from a gel to a solid support for further analysis. The BCA (Bicinchoninic Acid) assay is a colorimetric detection and quantification method used to determine the total protein concentration in a sample.

hMSCs were lysed with RIPA buffer and 12 μg of proteins were loaded. SDS-PAGE (12% Bis-Tris gel, from Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.), Polyvinylidene difluoride transfer membrane and quantification BCA assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) were used. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk for 1 h at room temperature and probed with the primary antibodies (anti-LC3B, anti-p62/SQSTM1 purchased from Sigma-Aldrich S.r.l.) (1:1000) overnight at 4 °C, followed by secondary antibodies (1:5000) for 1 h at RT. Bands were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (SuperSignal™ West Pico PLUS, from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.). Quantification was assessed using Image Lab Software (Bio-Rad Laboratories S.r.l., Segrate, Italy).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
