Chemiluminescent Western blotting

LucentBlue X-ray film
LucentBlue X-ray film

High sensitivity X-ray film
for chemiluminescent and other blots

  • Performance - excellent images when used with WesternBright ECL
  • Value - sensitivity equal to more expensive films
  • Flexibility - detect radioisotopes in addition to chemiluminescence
Background Quenching Sheets
Background Quenching Sheets

An added layer to decrease background
For improved imaging of blots and gels

  • Better images by removing background fluorescence and stray light
  • Improved signal to noise ratios
  • Simple – just place sheet under the blot or gel
  • Compatible with chemiluminescent and fluorescent Western blots
  • Compatible with DNA gels and protein stains - including SYBR green, SYBR Gold, ethidium bromide, SYPRO® Orange, SYPRO Ruby and more

 

WesternBright ChemiPen
WesternBright ChemiPen

A chemiluminescent marker for writing on membranes

  • Improve accuracy - transform your visible protein ladder standard into a chemiluminescent standard on your Western blot
  • Annotate - permanently mark your blots with the date or blot ID
  • Compatible - with both X-ray film and CCD imagers
  • Confirm HRP substrate stability - the ChemiPen reagent glows when incubated with an HRP substrate, so it can be used to test substrate stability

Catalog number L-15025-001 is a direct replacement for R-07055-001, which was discontinued.

Transfer membranes
Transfer membranes

Convenient nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes for Western blotting

  • Performance – quality controlled for background-free Western blots
  • Convenience – membranes available pre-cut and as rolls
  • High signal-to-noise ratio – low background signal for clearer results
  • Flexibility – choose the right membrane for your Western blotting application

 

Membrane Options:

WesternBright PVDF-FL: fluorescent detection
WesternBright PVDF-CL: chemiluminescent detection; best stability for stripping and re-probing chemiluminescent blots
PVDF membranes available as rolls or pre-cut (7x9 cm, 10x15 cm, or 13x18 cm)

WesternBright NC: all-purpose nitrocellulose membrane
Nitrocellulose membranes available as rolls or pre-cut (8x10 cm)

Incubation trays
Incubation trays

Convenient containers for staining and washing gels and membranes

  • Smooth interior – protects membranes and gels from scratches
  • Convenient – multiple sizes (5x7, 6x9, 9x11,10.5x15.5 cm) and designs available for different gels and blots
  • Attached lid – to protect experiments from dust or debris that can cause speckles on blot images
  • Save – minimize antibody and buffer usage by using appropriately sized containers
  • Multi-chamber trays – process 6 mini-blots simultaneously, each chamber requires as little as 3 mL of solution
