Abstract

Wet membranes in DNA hybridisation procedures can be very difficult to handle. This adds considerable time to the length of experiments and is a serious obstacle to the performance of large-scale investigations. A method is described to give rigidity to membranes, thereby making them easier to handle and in turn improving both the speed and efficiency of experimental work.
