Blotting sponge pads
Blotting sponge pads

Transfer sponge pads for more reproducible Western blot transfers

  • Resist compression - maintain proper pressure in transfer sandwiches without adding extra blotting papers
  • Retain thickness - can be reused over multiple experiments
  • Convenient - two sizes (8 x 11 cm and 9 x 15 cm) compatible with a variety of transfer apparatuses
  • Standardized - uniform flat construction ensures reproducible and consistent transfers
  • Four pads per pack - a full set for common transfer apparatus
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

 

Blotting papers
Blotting papers

Pre-cut paper for electrophoretic transfers

  • Convenient – pre-cut; work with most mini gel transfer assemblies

  • Tested – perform consistently without artifacts or background
  • Available sizes include 7x9 cm and 8x10 cm
Development folders
Development folders

Transparent plastic supports for handling and imaging blots

  • Clear images – avoid the wrinkling or bunching that can happen with plastic wrap
  • Suitable for all blots – development folders are suitable for chemiluminescence and fluorescence imaging
  • Safe blot handling – move your blot without scratching or putting pressure on the surface
  • Convenient size – image up to 2 blots simultaneously in one folder
Background Quenching Sheets
Background Quenching Sheets

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

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)

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
FLASHBlot transfer buffer
FLASHBlot transfer buffer

Ready-to-use wet transfer buffer
Designed for faster, more efficient wet protein transfer with increased sensitivity

FLASHBlot is not your average wet transfer buffer.

  • Faster than traditional wet buffers: better results in 20 minutes
  • More sensitive detection for low abundance proteins
  • Better detection of post-translationally modified proteins
  • Better transfer of ALL proteins, including high molecular weight proteins
  • Conveniently suitable for any wet transfer set-up

“ We were pleasantly surprised to see that with FLASHBlot we observed the same transferring levels at 25 min than with the lengthier transfer protocol… including for the 300 kDa protein. This reagent will shorten considerably our experimental time. ”  - Assistant Professor, UCSF
