Sourced in Germany

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are a type of laboratory equipment used for various filtration and separation applications. They are made from a thermoplastic polymer material that exhibits high chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. PVDF membranes are commonly used for applications such as protein and nucleic acid separation, Western blotting, and sample preparation in analytical techniques.

Analysis of protein expression by immunoblotting was performed as previously described (10 (link)). Proteins of cell lysates (20–40 μg) were dissolved in SDS sample buffer, separated by 10% or 12.5% SDS-PAGE, and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany). The membrane was blocked with 10% nonfat dry milk and incubated with the following primary antibodies: anti-ATGL, anti-HSL, anti-GAPDH, and anti-calnexin from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA; 2138S/ATGL, 4107S/HSL, 2118S/GAPDH, 2679S/calnexin), anti-6x HIS tag, and anti-NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S1 (NDUFS1) from Abcam (Cambridge, England; ab18184/6x HIS-tag®, ab157221/NDUFS1), anti-α-SMA from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA; PA5-22251/α-SMA), and anti-KIAA1363 from Invitrogen GmbH (PA5-50285/NCEH1 = KIAA1363), respectively. For detection, membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibodies specific for respective primary antibody.

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.
