A new western blot detection kit is designed to provide fast and sensitive detection of antigens, a long-lasting signal, and extremely low background compared to other chemiluminescent detection kits.Posted on 03 Aug 2004
Western blotting detection is one of the most common protein analysis techniques now used in biomedical research and is a direct method for specifically identifying proteins as well as identifying the relative amount of specific proteins in different samples. The new kit, called Visualizer, is designed to make detection of proteins easier by providing the highest level of sensitivity in addition to the least amount of background by using a superior version of the chemiluminescent HRP (horseradish peroxidase) substrate luminol. The kit supplies enough material for 20 immunoblots.
"Scientists will love the sensitivity and low background made possible with this product, in addition to now having a single source for their cell signaling antibodies and detection products,” said Ian Ratcliffe, president and COO of Upstate Group, Inc. (Charlottesville, VA, USA), which developed the kits.
