3MM Chr and 17 Chr Blotting Papers

3MM Chr Whatman 3MM Chr paper is the world's most widely used blotting paper.

This acceptance and usage reflect the high quality, purity and consistency that are relied upon by researchers doing Southern, Northern and Western transfers. 3MM Chr paper is now available in the most widely used sizes. A medium thickness paper (0.34 mm) used extensively for general chromatography and electrophoresis. Flow rate is 130 mm/ 30 min.

17 Chr 
A thick (0.92 mm) and highly absorbent paper with a very high flow rate of 190 mm/ 30 min. Suitable for the heaviest loadings and ideal for preparative paper chromatography and electrophoresis.

Features and Benefits

  • Pure cellulose produced entirely from the highest quality cotton linters with no additives of any kind. Ensures that no contamination will occur during the transfer steps
  • Manufactured and tested specifically for chromatographic techniques. This ensures the wicking capability and uniformity of capillary action that is important in obtaining clean and even transfers during blotting
  • Whatman 3MM Chr is considered the industry standard for blotting procedures
  • Convenient sizes available in sheets precisely cut to the most popular gel and transfer membrane sizes. Allows "out-of-the-box" usage and eliminates sheet-to-sheet variations

CloneSaver™ Card

Clone archiving
> CloneSaver Card
FTA® Technology in 96 Well Format for High Throughput Applications

Designed for the collection, long-term storage and purification of plasmid and BAC DNA from bacterial clones in a 96 well format.

Prepare BAC and Plasmid DNA with Amazing Ease

  • Apply 5 µL bacterial culture, re-suspended colony or glycerol stock. Cells are lysed and plasmid or BAC DNA is stabilized for long-term storage or immediate processing
  • Bacteriophages are inactivated
  • DNA is easily accessible for downstream applications
  • Store up to 96 samples on each card

Store Sample DNA for Years at Room Temperature 
Plasmid DNA stored on CloneSaver Cards is stable at room temperature for at least 4 years...and counting.

DNA is Easily Accessible for Downstream Applications

Transformation 
Plasmid DNA can be eluted or used directly on a punch to transform bacteria either by electroporation or heat-shock methods.

PCR 
Immobilized plasmid DNA on a CloneSaver Card punch can be used directly in a PCR. The PCR products remain in solution, do not bind to the punch and are easily recoverable. Plasmid DNA can also be eluted for PCR or other studies.

Sequencing 
Plasmid DNA eluted from a CloneSaver punch can be amplified by rolling circle amplification, such as Amersham Bioscience's TempliPhi™ and then sequenced without the need for culture re-growth and plasmid purification.

> CloneSaver Card with Multi-Barrier Pouches

CloneSaver™ Resealable Multi-Barrier Pouches

Used for transporting or storing the CloneSaver Card. The pouch is constructed with seven laminated layers that protects the card from exposure to gas or liquid contamination. There is a zip-lock resealable closure for easy access to the CloneSaver Card. The tamper-evident seal maintains sample security and the outer paper surface can be used for labelling or writing.

SPOT CloneSaver/BloodSaver Holder

SPOT is a rigid frame that allows automated spotting to standard CloneSaver and BloodSaver cards. It keeps the card flat for uniform and precise spotting of your biological samples. A 96 well card is easily inserted into the SBS-compatible frame, which can then be placed onto a liquid-handling deck just like a multiwell plate.

The SPOT holder is compatible with standard liquid handlers manufactured by companies such as Beckman Coulter and Tecan Instruments.

CloneSaver Starter Kit

Includes: 2 CloneSaver Cards, 2 Uni-Core Punches (2 mm) with cutting mat and instructions.
