Western blotting (or immunoblotting) is a well-established biochemical technique that detects specific proteins in complex samples and has applications from basic research to the diagnosis of ...

Western blots have been a tried-and-true method for separating and quantifying proteins based on molecular weight, but they have not kept up with the continually increasing output demands of modern ...

A western blot is a laboratory method used to detect specific protein molecules from among a mixture of proteins. This mixture can include all of the proteins associated with a particular tissue or ...

Western blot analysis is a method widely used in the lab today because of its versatility in detecting and measuring specific target proteins in a sample. However, in recent years the reproducibility ...

Detection of low-abundance proteins and/or detection of proteins from precious samples can be a major challenge when performing western blotting. The abundance of the target may be low because the ...

Techniques for investigating biological processes have advanced rapidly over the years. Yet, the humble Western blot—a technique first published in 1979 1 —remains a laboratory standard. Despite their ...

The western blot may appear to be just another staple lab technique. However, there are some stories surrounding its invention that are definitely worth knowing. This might be news to some: scientists ...

The first blotting technique developed by Dr. Edwin Southern is called the Southern blot. This technique was subsequently modified so as to detect other target molecules. These techniques being ...
