Absorbent & Blotting

Ahlstrom manufactures a complete line of high purity, 100% cotton fiber papers for use in chromatography, electrophoresis and blotting applications.

Our Chromatography and Blotting papers are extensively used in separation science. Paper chromatography is an economical and efficient method of separating individual components from a soluble sample.

Our uniform b lotting and electrophoresis grades ensure performance reproducibility in nucleic acid research.

Ahlstrom grades are produced using ultrapure water and contain no additives that could cause increased backgrounds or other interference in detection systems. These uniform, smooth, white sheets are suitable for use in paper chromatography with alcohol or other organic solvents and in protein and nucleic acid separation and blotting. Other applications include capillary blotting, gel wicking, spacing in electroblotting and gel drying.

Absorbent Carriers - Quality cotton, synthetic, and wood fibers with FDA approved wet strength binders are the basis for products used in air fresheners, aromatherapy pads, humidifier plates, and ink blotting pads. They are manufactured and sold in various densities, colors and thickness. Ahlstrom can die cut these absorbent substrates into a wide variety of sizes and shapes.

These papers are also used in the Laboratory Animal Environment as bedding. This FDA compliant material is used for animal enrichment and represents a clean, sterile alternative to traditional bedding.
