ScanLater Western Blot Detection Cartridge

ScanLater Western Blot Detection Cartridge
Transform your SpectraMax® i3 or Paradigm® System into a western blot readerThere are often a great many western blots along the path between imagination and understanding. Now you can read them using the advanced optical technology that's already in your lab — inside your microplate reader. The ScanLater™ Western Blot Detection System includes the ScanLater Western Blot Detection Cartridge, ScanLater Western Blot Assay Kit, and image acquisition powered by SoftMax® Pro Software. In just minutes, you can install the ScanLater Western Blot Detection Cartridge in a SpectraMax® i3 or SpectraMax® Paradigm® System to add western blot detection capability, rather than buying a dedicated western blot detection system. See more, and do more, with your microplate reader.
 

The ScanLater Western Blot Detection Cartridge is a user-installable option for the SpectraMax i3 and SpectraMax Paradigm Multi-Mode Platforms. Leveraging this novel technology, researchers can:

  • Add western blot detection to their microplate reader within 2 minutes
  • Eliminate time-dependent substrate addition steps
  • Maintain femtogram to picogram protein sensitivity comparable to traditional western blot methods
  • Sustain blot signal stability for up to 30 days
  • Use a single software platform SoftMax Pro Software, to run both microplate and western blot detection assays

Features:

  • User-installable cartridge for the SpectraMax i3 and Paradigm Multi-Mode Platforms
  • Time-resolved fluorescence detection
  • Xenon flash lamp excitation source
    • 340/80 nm excitation range
    • 616/10 nm emission range
  • Supports nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes
  • Compatible with goat anti-rabbit, anti-mouse or streptavidin labeled antibodies
  • Reads membranes fitting the ScanLater SpectraMax Membrane Holder
