Alternate for nitrocellulose membrane for radioactivity count ?

Maheswaran Sivakumar @Maheswaran-Sivakumar

15 October 2019 0 6K Report

I'm studying radioactive leucine uptake by yeast cells. People suggest using 0.45 micron Nitrocellulose membrane for filtering out the cells. Is there any alternative for the expensive nitrocellulose membrane?

Can I use Whatman filter paper of same pore size?
