Nitrocellulose Membranes

Nitrocellulose (NC) membranes are a series of paper-like matrices with micro-scale porous structures. Due to their good biocompatibility, unique physical and chemical properties, and the ability to immobilize various biomolecules, NC membranes have been widely used in the biomedical field. For example, NC membranes are commonly used to immobilize nucleic acids in southern blots and northern blots, and to immobilize proteins in western blots [1]. In addition, they are also considered to be the backbone of the rapid test strip, and the capture antibodies of the test line and the control line are coated here [2].
