Chemiluminescent Western Blot Imaging using ChemiFast Substrate

20 Jul 2016

Western blotting is a commonly used technique to identify and quantify specific protein(s). The commonly used western blotting substrates are luminol based and produce a chemiluminescent signal. Substrates such as ChemiFast are highly sensitive enhanced chemiluminescent substrates. This application note presents ChemiFast substrate’s extremely intense signal output, enabling detection of HRP using cooled charge couple device (CCD) camera imaging methods.

G:BOX Chemi XX6

Syngene

G:BOX Chemi XX6 gel imaging system has a high resolution camera for imaging multiple sample types and sizes, from fluorescence 1D to 2D gels to chemiluminescent blots. Your lab’s imaging system shouldn’t control how you detect proteins on Western blots. Chemiluminescence is great if you want sensitive detection of picogram or femtogram amounts, while fluorescence lets you quantify and detect multiple different proteins on one blot.

Western BlottingWestern blotting equipment is used to transfer and identify specific proteins within a sample, reveal protein modifications, as well as give a semi-quantitative estimation of their concentration. Western blotting equipment includes all apparatus necessary to transfer proteins from gel to membrane and subsequent processing steps. Protein transfer can be performed by electroblotting with wet, semi-dry and dry transfer systems onto nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes. Blocking, washing and labeling of membranes follows, involving buffers, blocking reagents, blotting / incubation trays, labeling reagents, immunoblotting assays, antibodies and conjugates. Automated equipment for these steps is available to accelerate your lab workflow. Finally, detection and imaging of proteins can be conducted using gel documentation and imaging systems.
