Exposing your western blot to X-ray film? Are you doing 35S labeling of
proteins or immunodetection? Sulphur-35 emmissions will not go through
saran/plastic wraps.
Quoting tunugus at mail.rockefeller.edu:
>> hi

> have been using the latter for western blot to wrap my membrane before
> exposing my film.
>> I am also suspecting this might be a cause for not getting any bands on my
> film.
> I am not sure if the wrap can make a difference.
>> Any inputs on ths one,please help.
