Protein Detection System Decreases Immunodetection Time by 80%

Millipore’s SNAP i.d.™ protein detection system allows researchers to produce higher quality western blots 80% more quickly than with conventional immunodetection protocols.

By shortening the time required for blocking, washing, and antibody incubations to 22 minutes, the SNAP i.d. system allows researchers to optimise their immunodetection conditions for the highest quality results. The SNAP i.d. system is compatible with all membrane types and detection methods. Both sensitivity and specificity are equivalent or higher than standard immunodetection.

The SNAP i.d. system produces western blots of very high quality because its unique, vacuum-driven technology. Three different sizes of blot holders accommodate up to three blots each, and two blot holders can be run in parallel. Thus, researchers can process up to six blots in parallel and greatly increase their protein detection throughput.
