If a green color appears on the membrane after the transfer using the iBlot 2 Dry Blotting System, will it affect the results?

The green discoloration is copper deposits from the transfer stack, and it does not affect the results. To minimize this effect, shake excess water off the filter paper and buffer from the gel before placing each on the stack. The current formulation of stacks minimizes the green discoloration.
