Try NewBlot IR Stripping Buffer for Infrared Western Blots.

Does your lab have both researchers that use PVDF membranes and researchers that use nitrocellulose for infrared Western blots? Are you still spending your valuable time making homemade stripping buffer? NewBlot™ IR Stripping Buffer to the rescue!

NewBlot IR is a member of the LI-COR NewBlot Stripping Buffer family. All NewBlot buffers can be used for stripping and reprobing infrared fluorescent Western blots, and there is a formulation that works for whichever membrane type (or types) you use.

What makes NewBlot IR unique?

It strips both membrane types so you will not need to buy separate stripping buffers for nitrocellulose and PVDF.
It is the most affordable, saving you money to spend on other items for your lab.

This robust reagent removes primary and secondary antibodies while maintaining target antigen integrity for efficient reprobing and does not require hazardous shipping, unlike many other stripping buffers.

Note: NewBlot IR Stripping Buffer is not recommended for loading amounts over 30 µg.

Below are data showing that you can indeed strip and reprobe three times and still detect your proteins of interest.

**Figure 1. Stripping and reprobing nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes effectively with NewBlot IR Stripping Buffer.** EGFR and phospho-ERK levels were compared in EGF-stimulated (+) and non-stimulated (-) A431 lysate (1 µg total protein). The membrane was probed with mouse anti-EGFR, mouse anti-pERK1/2, and β-tubulin rabbit polyclonal, then detected with IRDye 800CW Goat anti-Mouse, and IRDye 680RD Goat anti-Rabbit. The blot was scanned with an Odyssey^® CLx Imaging System (Original blot). The blot was then stripped with NewBlot IR Stripping Buffer , and scanned again (Strip #1). The blot was detected with the same primary and secondary antibodies and scanned again (Reprobe #1). The process was repeated 2 more times (Strip and Reprobe #2 - 3). Image display settings for all stripped and reprobed images are identical to the original image.

To make sure you are successful when stripping and reprobing, here are some factors that can affect stripping efficiency:

Amount of time the blot is in the stripping buffer
Sample type and preparation
Blot handling conditions
Buffer concentration and temperature used for stripping
