Imaging Blots

To blot stain-free gels, use standard blotting procedures as described in the

instruction manual you are using. Use only PVDF membranes with low background

fluorescence, as membranes other than low fluorescence PVDF can result in high

background or low sensitivity with the ChemiDoc XRS+ and Gel Doc XR+ imagers.

To assess transfer efficiency, be sure to activate and visualize the gel using the

imager before transfer.
