Thermo Fisher Scientific

Product Name:

SuperSignal™ West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate

Catalog Number:

34095

I use this for western blot detection. It is more expensive than other ECL reagents, but the price is worth it. My peers expose their blots for 3 minutes and I expose mine for 10 seconds. It is perfect for the impatient scientist (me) or precious samples with low protein.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Western blot

Starting Material

Protein lysates

Tips

Don't over expose and use small amounts.

Results Summary

I use this for all of my western blot band detection and I get bands within seconds. One kit can last longer if you use only 1 ml at a time.
