Immunoblotting test is also known as western blot, which is a hybrid technology combining high-resolution gel electrophoresis and immunochemical analysis.
Western blot has the advantages of large analytical capacity, high sensitivity and strong specificity. It is the most common method to detect the characteristics, expression and distribution of proteins, and is widely applicated in:
• Study on Gene Expression at Protein Level
• Antibody Activity Test
• Early Diagnosis of Disease
Advantages
• Smooth and flat surface, not easy to curl
• High mechanical strength, easy to be stripped and reprobed
• Evenly distributed pore size, high protein mobility, clear results
• High sensitivity to ensure successful detection of low abundance protein
Application
• Western Blot • Adsorption Analysis • Amino Acid Analysis • N-terminal Protein Sequencing | • Spot and Slit Printing Detection • Glycoprotein Coloration • Lipopolysaccharide Analysis |
