ECL Western Blot Reagent

Introduction

Chemiluminescence is the western blot detection method of choice in most protein laboratories, as it provides the greatest sensitivity and convenience for detection with film or digital imaging equipment.

Chemiluminescent substrates for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are two-component systems consisting of a stable peroxide solution and an enhanced luminol solution. To make a working solution, the equal volumes of the two components are mixed together. When incubated with a blot on which HRP-conjugated antibodies (or other probes) are bound, a chemical reaction produces light that can be detected by film or sensitive camera (Figure 1).

ABP Biosciences offers two types of super sensitive chemiluminescent substrates for Western blot detection with horseradish peroxidase enzyme (HRP). The signal from ECL substrates can be captured and documented using X-ray film or a capable CCD camera imager.
