Provide high sensitivity and low background for enhanced detection and resolution.

Will not crack, shrink, or tear when subjected to multiple cycles of hybridization, stripping, and reprobing.

Membranes are intrinsically hydrophilic for easy wetting. Resistant to common solvents such as acetone, alcohol, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, formamide, 2M NaOH, DMSO, and dimethylformamide. Not compatible with concentrated formic acid (>50%), HCl (>4M), oxidizing agents, and long exposures (days to weeks) to pH <2.
