The Western blot test is an antibody test that’s done on a blood sample. It’s used to confirm or disprove the results of an earlier test for HIV or Lyme disease. Technological advances have produced ...

In this editorial, Kenneth Oh overviews the two main normalization methods used to quantify western blots and discusses common errors to avoid. What is western blot normalization? Kenneth Oh is the ...

This protocol describes an improved northern blot method that enhances detection of small RNA molecules (<40 nt) including regulatory species such as microRNA (miRNA), short-interfering RNA (siRNA) ...

Discover how automated protein analysis is overcoming bottlenecks in drug discovery and translational research, improving ...

A northern blot is a laboratory method used to detect specific RNA molecules among a mixture of RNA. Northern blotting can be used to analyze a sample of RNA from a particular tissue or cell type in ...

A western blot, sometimes called a protein immunoblot, is an antibody-based technique used to detect the presence, size and abundance of specific proteins within a sample. The technique was developed ...

Western blot detection methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right one can be a difficult decision. The basic protocol of the western blot – also referred to as the ...

The Western blot workflow for immuno-based protein detection was introduced over 30 years ago. Since its introduction, Western blotting has become a well-known and widely accepted technique routinely ...

Blotting is a powerful technique used in modern molecular biology. This technique is used to identify specific biomolecules present in a sample. There are several types of blotting techniques based on ...
