proteins-request,
I have met a similar problem. Membrane I used was 0.45um pore size PVDF from Pierce. After transfer, the prestained ladder could be seen, but after a brief rinse, most of the prestained ladder was gone (Transfer buffer Towbins buffer with 10% methanol and 0.05% SDS). Also I have never seen such
things with NC membrane. I am wondering if it is caused by the SDS present in the buffer. However, in the instruction of PVDF membrane from biorad, methanol and SDS would not interfere binding of proteins to PVDF membrane. Any comments or suggestions?
