The gel is then transferred to a membrane with a high [blank_start]affinity[blank_end] for protein such as [blank_start]capillary[blank_end] transfer or [blank_start]electrophoretic[blank_end] transfer. The membrane has a high affinity for protein so all empty spots much be filled with [blank_start]BSA[blank_end] or [blank_start]Skim[blank_end] [blank_start]Milk[blank_end] Powder.
