Quantitative

For Membrane and Plate-based Applications

Through its innovative use of fluorescently labeled antibodies rather than enzyme labels, infrared provides a broad, linear dynamic range to accurately detect strong and weak bands on the same Western blot. In contrast, the dynamic enzymatic nature of chemiluminescence only allows you to capture a “snapshot” of the enzymatic reaction and is highly dependent on timing and exposure, limiting linear range and offering only qualitative or semi-quantitative results. The accuracy and linearity of infrared detection allows researchers to be confident about differences seen in protein levels, and blots can be archived and imaged again months later, if needed
