Product Name:

SuperSignal™ West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate

Catalog Number:

34580

Our lab has been using this ECL for all of our western blots with no problem. We use it for our everyday western blots for murine T cells, tumor cells, macrophages, lung tissue, adipose tissue, etc.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Western Blots

Starting Material

Murine T cells

Protocol Overview

After washing the blots with TBS, we added the solutions at a 1:1 ratio and we applied the mixed solution on top of our membrane to cover the entire membrane. After 5 minutes, we would then drain the excess reagent and ready the membrane for imaging.

Tips

Don't mix the two reagents too early before it is time for ECL.

Results Summary

It is consistently reliable and the membranes are always bright enough for our imaging.
