Azure PVDF Membranes

Pre-cut PVDF membranes for Western blotting applications

Ideal for chemiluminescent and colorimetric Western blotting. Pre-cut to save you time in the lab. These low-fluorescence PVDF membranes reduce background noise and nonspecific protein binding for improved sensitivity. Available in three different pre-cut sizes.

Quantity: 10 membranes per package

Features

Low-fluorescence PVDF membranes reduce background noise for improved sensitivity. PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) membranes are commonly used for immunoblotting techniques, like Western blots. During the blotting process, samples are transferred from the protein gel onto a PVDF membrane by electroblotting. From there they can be used for protein sequencing.

• High binding capacity is great for low-expressing proteins
• Typically used for fluorescence
• High protein retention for stripping and reprobing

Azure Flash Western Chemiluminescence Kit

Kit includes all reagents necessary for performing ten chemiluminescent Western blots using the Flash Western protocol

Each kit includes:

• 10x PVDF Membranes
• 100mL Chemi Blot Blocking Buffer
• 500μL Flash HRP Conjugate
• 250mL Flash Wash Buffer
• 100mL Radiance ECL Substrate

Features

Time savings using Azure Flash Western Chemiluminescent Kit. Flash Western graph includes use of Azure Transfer Buffer in light blue.

The Azure Flash Western Kit uses a proprietary set of reagents to achieve complete membrane blocking, rapid hybridization of antibodies, and enhancement of chemi signal in less than an hour of blotting time. The included transfer buffer cuts wet transfer time down to 15 to 30 minutes for a total assay time of two hours from gel to imaging.

• Fast protocol with few hands-on steps
• Antibody stabilization for enhanced chemi signal
• Low background and increased signal-to-noise ratios
• Increased detection sensitivity and linear dynamic range

Radiance ECL Chemiluminescent Substrate

Chemiluminescent HRP substrate for chemiluminescent Western blots

Radiance ECL is an HRP substrate with long-lasting signal and sensitivity down to low picograms. Use up to 10 times less antibody than other substrates used in life science.

Size: 500 mL

Features

• Performance — compare performance to SuperSignal West Pico and Amersham ECL
• Sensitivity — high sensitivity in low picograms
• Duration — Signal duration 6-8 hours
• Chemiluminescent Western Blotting
• The most common method for Western blot detection is chemiluminescence. Detection by chemiluminescence is relatively sensitive and works well for detecting individual or low abundance proteins.   

Radiance Plus Chemiluminescent Substrate

The most sensitive HRP substrate available for chemiluminescent Western blotting.

With attomole sensitivity and a long-lasting signal, Radiance Plus allows you to detect bands not visualized with other substrates. High signal-to-noise and a large dynamic range make it ideal for quantifying low-intensity bands.

Size: 150 mL

Features

• Low-abundance protein detection
• Compare performance to competitor products, like SuperSignal West Femto and Amersham ECL Select
• Sensitivity in low femtograms
• Signal duration 6-8 hours   

Radiance Q Chemiluminescent Substrate

Radiance Q chemiluminescent substrate is specially formulated for use with Azure Imaging Systems, or other CCD imagers. This novel horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrate provides a strong, long-lasting signal, the broadest useful linear range, and high sensitivity for the most quantitative chemiluminescent Western assays.

Size: 150 mL

Features

Increase the sensitivity and quantitative accuracy of your chemiluminescent Western blots. Specially developed for CCD imaging, Radiance Q produces a strong, long-lasting signal with extremely low background, perfect for detecting low abundance proteins. Because the substrate is not depleted at high protein loads, Radiance provides the largest dynamic range of any chemiluminescent substrate, improving quantitative accuracy.

• Extended dynamic range for detecting low and high abundance proteins within the same blot
• Compare performance to SuperSignal West Dura and Amersham ECL Prime
• Sensitivity in mid femtograms
• Signal duration 10-24 hours   

Autoradiography Cassette Aluminum 5x7

Classic Push-Button Cassettes

RunBlue gels are more rigid and up to 10 times stronger than conventional precast gels resulting in more robust gels that can be handled with confidence. No tearing - an 8% gel can be thrown into the air and caught without breaking!

• RunBlue gels are manufactured using a unique method of polymerisation that results in more uniform and more complete polymerisation of the Acrylamide when compared to conventional, chemical based methods. This results in gels that have superior batch to batch reproducibility and practically eliminates exposure to un-polymerised Acrylamide.
• RunBlue gels incorporate a stacking gel that has been dyed (red for SDS) for the simplest ever sample loading. In addition, there is no comb to remove as the top of the teeth are fixed in place. This not only prevents the teeth from being accidentally torn off during comb removal but that all of the wells are uniform, with the teeth remaining vertical. This prevents sample cross contamination / inability to load desired Vol. The teeth also protrude above the lower front plate of the gel cassette preventing sample flow over into adjacent wells.
• Runblue gels are available in two different cassette sizes providing compatibility with the most common gel tanks and apparatus.  10x10 cm cassettes are compatible with Invitrogen/Life Technologies equipment and any other equipment designed for this format, such as the Hoeffer and Owl tanks. Our 8x10 cm cassette is designed to fit the Biorad equipment (Mini Protean I, II and II, Tetra etc).
• The resolving gel on RunBlue gels extends to the very bottom of the cassette which not only provides improved resolution but also there is no protruding gel that requires trimming prior to blotting. There is also no additional tape / covers to remove - simply take the gel from the pack and use.
• RunBlue gels are supplied in boxes of 10 gels. They are available in a 12 well format, covering a range of concentrations and gradients.

Benefits of RunBlue Precast Gels

• 2 year shelf life - never throw away another gel
• Up to 10x stronger - no more torn, ruined gels
• Load up to 20µl - see everything in your sample
• Dyed stacking gel - makes gel loading child's play (SDS = Red)
• No comb to remove - no more broken or bent teeth
• Full length resolving gel - improved resolution and better blotting
• 10x10 cm and 8x10 cm cassette - total compatibility with most popular tanks including Invitrogen and Biorad equipment
• Fast delivery with immediate and expert technical support for total peace of mind
