Gaithersburg, MD,— Today KPL’s released a new line of chemiluminescent Western blot kits that provides the most sensitive detection solutions yet. Forty-five percent of researchers recently surveyed cited a lack of sensitivity and time to results in Western blots as significant challenges. The search for increased sensitivity can amplify background, requiring lengthy optimization to manage signal:noise contrast.

SignaLOCK™ ChemiWestern kits solve these challenges. Each kit is composed of a chemiluminescent substrate, a non-protein blocker, and unique wash solution. All kits offer comprehensive protocols and can be used with both nitrocellulose and PVDF members. Whether using film or an imager, there is an optimized kit that will enable researchers to see more signal with less background in their Western blots.

Some of the features of the new kits are:

SignLOCK HRP ChemiWestern Kit (Imager)

• Optimized for an imager

• Results in 1 minute

• Can detect low femtogram levels of protein

• Enough reagents to process ten 10 x 10 cm2 blots.

SignLOCK HRP ChemiWestern Kit (Film)

• Optimized for film

• Can detect low femtogram levels of protein

• Enough reagents to process ten 10 x 10 cm2 blots.

SignLOCK AP ChemiWestern Kit (Film/Imager)

• Can be used with film or an imager

• Can detect high femtogram levels of protein

• Stable signal for up to 5 days

• Enough reagents to process ten 10 x 10 cm2 blots
