Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, introduces the Thermo Scientific Pierce Fast Western Blot Kit, ECL Substrate. Using the new Pierce Fast Western Blot Kit, scientists can perform a typical Western blot in 55 minutes. The kit provides all the necessary reagents to complete a Western blot that was probed with a mouse or rabbit primary antibody, yielding results comparable to classical methods.

The economical method does not require special instrumentation as is required of other kits and no vacuum pumps are needed, eliminating problems with clogged lines or membranes. The Pierce ECL Substrate supplied with the kit produces a chemiluminescent signal that is easily captured using photographic or other imaging methods. Blots can be repeatedly exposed to film to obtain optimal results or stripped of the primary antibody and immunodetection reagents and reprobed.

The Pierce Fast Western Blot Kit is available in two sizes, with reagents for either five or 25 Western blots (8 x 10 cm). For more information on the Pierce Fast Western Blot Kit, ECL Substrate, please contact the company.
