Triple Well Blot Holder as a Tool for 30-Minute Western Blotting Optimization with the SNAP i.d.<sup>TM</sup> Protein Detection System
5 Oct 2015Optimization of antibody concentration is a key requirement for successful immunodetection with both standard methodologies as well as with the SNAP i.d. system. Antibody optimizations can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time using the SNAP i.d. system’s triple well blot holder and its 30-minute processing time to evaluate up to six different antibody concentrations in parallel; the method is described within this application note. Because all of the steps (e.g., sample prep, electrophoresis, transfer, blocking, immunodetection, and visualization) are performed together with the SNAP i.d. system, experimental variability is minimized.

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.
