Find out about the latest Western Blotting Technologies
Western Blotting is the method used to separate and visualize proteins. In blotting it is important to consider choice of probe, labeling method (e.g. fluorescence, biotin or enzyme conjugates), detection system and software. This Top List provides you with the latest technologies for western blotting.
Prevention and treatment of cocaine use disorder could be greatly advanced by a more comprehensive understanding of its neurobiological underpinnings. In this webinar, Dr. Noelle Anastasio, Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Texas Medical Branch; and Sarah Swinford-Jackson, Graduate Assistant, Center for Addiction Research, University of Texas Medical Branch, discuss how a quantifiable and reproducible automated Simple Western assay in ProteinSimple’s Wes™ can be used to examine serotonin and glutamate receptor expression, as well as protein:protein interactions from rodent brain samples.

6. Application Note: Enhancement of Chemiluminescent Images with ChemiDoc-It System
When capturing western blots with any CCD camera-based system, the detection of the signal produced is not typically visible without software enhancement. In this application note, learn how to enhance low light chemiluminescent images and how the UVP BioChemi System can generate extremely intense band signals which drastically lower the detection limit for the protein.
