Hi all,
I am looking into switching from nitrocellulose membranes to pvdf membranes for LC3 detection in western blotting. Can I use ethanol (as opposed to methanol) to hydrate my pvdf membranes before transfer? In addition, can I use ethanol in my transfer buffer when doing a western blot with pvdf membranes, or do I need to stick with methanol?
Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it!
