Abstract

We present the preparation of an ion exchange paper which can be used as a solid carrier in the transfer of RNA from gels. In addition to detection by blot hybridization to specific probes, transferred RNA can be characterized by cell-free translation in situ. Preparation of the paper is simple, inexpensive and reproducible. Examples of applications are shown and possible other applications are discussed.
