OneMinute Western Blot Stripping Buffer
       
In ONE minute, your membrane is ready for reprobing

For saving time and precious samples, researchers often strip off the first set of primary and secondary antibodies after performing Western Blot detection in order to detect different proteins on the same membrane. However, they usually suffer either significant loss of target proteins from stripping the blot using harsh stripping buffer, or incomplete removal of the antibodies from using mild stripping buffer. OneMinute Western Blot Stripping Buffer was developed to help you effectively strip off high-affinity antibodies without removal of transferred proteins on the membrane.

OneMinute Western Blot Stripping Buffer, a revolutionary stripping buffer, immediately makes your membrane ready for multiple re-probes in ONE minute. It provides a faster and easier way to strip off high-affinity primary and secondary antibodies on the membrane. It reduces incubation times while stripping at room temperature, and re-blocking the blots usually is not necessary. It spends only 30 seconds for stripping and 3x 10 seconds for washing.

OneMinute Western Blot Stripping Buffer is harsh for antibodies, but gentle to transferred proteins on the membrane. It effectively strips off primary and secondary antibodies without removal of transferred proteins, which allows the use of a single membrane for up to 10 times re-probes. In contrast, traditional stripping condition is so harsh that loss of transferred proteins is inevitable and the blots can hardly be re-probed for more than 2~3 times. 

OneMinute Western Blot Stripping Buffer is effective with both nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes, and various antibody conjugates (HRP, AP, etc.). It is conveniently stored at room temperature and used without dilution.

Suffering significant loss of transferred proteins from stripping your blots? Getting tired of tedious procedure of stripping? OneMinute Western Blot Stripping Buffer is your best choice.
Highlights:
1. Faster and Easier: less than 1 minute
2. Multiple times of re-probes (~10 times)
3.
Re-blocking is usually not necessary

Figure 1. Re-probing with different antibodies. 5% milk blocked nitrocellulose Western blots of 293 cell lysate were probed with Rabbit-anti-Human JNK1 (Protein1, Santa Cruz, sc-747) at 1:200 dilution, HRP-Goat-anti-Rabbit (Amersham) at 1:10,000 dilution. The signal was detected using ECL substrate (Panel A). Blots were stripped with either 2ml of OneMinute Stripping Buffer (30 sec, RT) or 10ml of competitor stripping buffer (15min,  50℃) (Panel B). OneMinute Buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10sec with TBST, and performed re-probing directly without re-blocking. Competitor stripping buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10min, blocked by 5% milk for 1 hour, and washed 3x 15min with TBST. Blots were re-probed with Mouse-anti-Human RIPK1 (Protein2, BD, 610458) at 1:200 dilution, HRP-Goat-anti-Mouse (Amersham) at 1:2,000 dilution and detected with ECL substrate (Panel C). 

Figure 2. Reprobing with different antibodies from same host. 5% milk nitrocellulose Western blots of HeLa cell lysate proteins were probed with Mouse-anti-Human RIPK1 (protein 1, BD, 610458) at 1:200 dilution, HRP- Goat-anti-Mouse (Amersham) at 1:2,000 dilution. The signal was detected using ECL substrate (Panel A). Blots were stripped with 2ml of OneMinute Stripping Buffer (30sec, RT), or 10ml of competitor stripping buffer (P's R product) for either 30 sec or 15min at RT (Panel B). OneMinute Buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10 sec with TBST, and directly re-probed without re-blocking. Competitor stripping buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10min, blocked with 5% milk for 1hour, and washed 3x 15min with TBST. Blots were re-probed with Mouse-anti-Human IKKgamma (protein 2, BD, 559675) at 1:200 dilution, HRP-Goat-anti-Mouse (Amersham) at 1:2,000 dilution and detected with ECL substrate (Panel C). The  removal of the primary antibody against Protein 1 was also evaluated by using same secondary antibodies (Anti-Mouse). 15min stripping with competitor P's R product completely removed secondary antibody (right lane in Panel B) but failed to completely remove primary antibody (right lane in Panel C).
Figure 3. OneMinute Stripping Buffer Completely removes high affinity antibodies (both primary and secondary). 5% milk blocked Nitrocellulose Western blots of 293 cell lysate were probed with Mouse-anti-Human Actin (Sigma, A-5441) at 1:5000 dilution, HRP-Goat-anti-Mouse (Amersham) at 1: 2,000 diluiton. The signal was detected using ECL substrate (Panel A). Blots were stripped with either 2ml of OneMinute Stripping Buffer ( 1min, RT), or 10ml of competitor stripping buffer (P's R product, 15min, RT) (Panel B). To further test the removal of primary antibody, the stripped blots were re-probed with identical secondary antibody and detected with ECL substrate (Panel C).
Figure 4. Re-probed for different proteins on PVDF membranes.  5% milk blocked PVDF Western blots of HeLa cell lysate were probed with Mouse-anti-Human RIPK1 (protein1, BD, 610458) at 1:200 dilution, HRP-Goat-anti-Mouse (Amersham) at 1:2,000 dilution. The signal was detected using ECL substrate (Panel A). Blots were stripped with either 2ml of OneMinute Stripping Buffer(30sec, RT) or 10ml of competitor stripping buffer (P's R product, 30sec, RT) (Panel B). OneMinute Buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10 sec with TBST, and directly re-probed without re-blocking. Competitor stripping buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10min, blocked with 5% milk for 1hour, and washed 3x 15min with TBST. Blots were then re-probed with Mouse-anti-Human IKKgamma (protein2, BD, 559675) at 1:200 dilution, HRP-Goat-anti-Mouse (Amersham) at 1:2,000 dilution and detected with ECL substrate (Panel C). The  removal of the primary antibody against Protein 1 was also evaluated by using same secondary antibodies (Anti-Mouse). 

                  OneMinute: 10sec at RT, washing 3x 10 sec, No re-blocking. 
                  Competitor: 15min at 50℃, washing 3x 10min, re-blocking 1 hour, washing 3x 15min
Figure 5. Stripping by OneMinute Buffer does not damage transferred proteins on the membrane. 5% milk blocked nitrocellulose Western blots of 293 cell lysate were stained with Ponceau S red (Panel A). Blots were stripped using either 2ml of OneMinute Stripping Buffer (30 sec, RT) or 10ml of competitor stripping buffer (15min,  50℃), and then stained with Ponceau S red (Panel B). OneMintue Buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10 seconds with TBST, and performed re-bloting directly without re-blocking. Competitor stripping buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10min, blocked with 5% milk for 1 hour, and washed 3x 15min with TBST.

Figure 6. Multiple times of stripping with OneMinute stripping buffer remains transferred proteins on membranes. 5% milk blocked nitrocellulose Western blots of 293 cell lysate were probed with Rabbit-anti-Human JNK1 (Santa Cruz, sc-747) at 1:200 dilution, HRP-Goat-anti-Rabbit (Amersham) at 1:10,000 dilution. The signal was detected using ECL substrate (Panel A). Blots were stripped with either 2ml of OneMinute Stripping Buffer (30 sec, RT) for 10 times or 10ml of competitor stripping buffer (15min, 50℃) for 1 time. OneMinute Buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10 sec with TBST, and directly re-probed without re-blocking. Competitor stripping buffer treated blot was washed 3x 10min, re-blocked with 5% milk for 1hour, and washed 3x 15min with TBST. Blots were re-probed with the same primary and secondary antibodies and detected with ECL substrate (Panel B). A fresh identical blot was probed as a control (left in Panel B) to evaluate the loss of JNK on membranes.
