Pvdf microporous membrane

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany

PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) microporous membrane is a type of filtration material used in various laboratory and industrial applications. It is composed of a porous polymer structure that allows the passage of fluids and particles while retaining specific components based on their size. The core function of this membrane is to facilitate efficient separation and filtration processes, enabling the isolation or purification of target substances from complex mixtures.

The SPE cartridges (Oasis MCX) were preconditioned with 2 mL methanol and 2 mL distilled water, sequentially. After being preconditioned, the centrifuged plasma sample was then loaded into the cartridges, previously washed with 2 mL distilled water and 2 mL cyclohexane, and dried under reduced pressure for 5 min. Elution of analytes was carried out with 2 mL of methanol. 100 μL of eluted methanol was filtered with 0.22 μm PVDF microporous membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA) and introduced into 200 μL vials. Finally, 1 μL of final solution was injected into the GC-MS.

Cell extracts (30 μg) were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) microporous membrane (Millipore, Boston, MA, USA). The membrane was incubated with primary antibodies against CD147, CD98, integrin, and α-tubulin, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:5000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) were applied to the membrane and detected using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Pierce, Rockford, IL). For the pull-down assay, 10 μg of the HAb18 mAb was first immobilized onto AminoLink Plus Coupling Resin (Pierce kit, Lot: 26149). Then, the bait (CD147-ED) and prey proteins (different amount of CD98-ED) were mixed. The protein mixture and controls (CD98-ED only) were then added to the appropriate resin and incubated. After the resin was washed three times with PBS, the eluted samples were subjected to western blotting.

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.
