Background Quenching Sheets, Advansta

Add a layer to decrease background and improve imaging of blots and gels.

• Better images by removing background fluorescence and stray light
• Improved signal-to-noise ratios
• Simply place sheet under blot or gel
• Compatible with chemiluminescent and fluorescent Western blots
• Compatible with DNA gels and protein stains (including SYBR green, SYBR gold, ethidium bromide, SYPRO orange, SYPRO ruby, and more)

Placed under chemiluminescent blots during CCD imaging, the Background Quenching Sheets eliminate noise that can occur with plastic wrap. Stray light entering the imaging system, or emitted from extremely bright bands, can reflect off of the plastic wrap, increasing background that becomes especially apparent during long exposures.

Placed under the blot or gel during imaging with epi illumination, these sheets absorb background fluorescence in the imaging environment such as that resulting from contamination of equipment.
