The Photon ECL Chemiluminescence Western Blotting Detection Kit (PCD) contains reagents to rapidly and reliably detect proteins in Western blots to picogram protein amounts. The unique feature of this ECL reagent kit is its high signal to noise luminescence, providing outstanding selectivity and robust signal.

 


ECL Chemiluminescence Western Blot Detection (PCD) Kit Overview
The horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed enhanced chemiluminescence method is commonly known as the ECL detection method for Western blots.  Proteins in Western blots are recognized by specific primary antibodies, which are in turn detected by a secondary antibodies coupled to horse-radish peroxidase (HRP).  In the ECL reaction, HRP catalyzes luminol oxidation in the presence of peroxidase and enhancer.  The resulting luminescence that corresponds to protein bands in Western blots is detected on film or by a CCD camera.

 
ECL Chemiluminescence Detection Kit:  Protocol Synopsis
 
 
To detect protein bands transferred to PVDF or nitrocellulose membrane, premix solution A, which contains the peroxidase substrate, luminol and enhancer, with the peroxide solution B.  Incubate the membrane with the premixed solution for one minute.  Bright luminescence will be emitted that can be captured on film or a CCD camera.

Legend: PCDTM ECL Kit sensitivity.  Recombinant human IL-10 (hIL-10) was diluted (25-0.05 ng)  and electrophoresis was performed. The gels were transferred to PVDF membranes, blocked and incubated with a 0.5 µg/ml dilution of rabbit anti-IL-10 antibody.  After washing, the membranes were incubated with 1:5000 dilutions of HRP-conjugated goat anti-donkey antibody.  The membranes were washed again and then incubated with chemiluminescent substrate.  Blots were exposed to film for 30 second and 2 minute exposures.  The FIVEphoton Biochemicals ECL reagent kit detects picogram amounts of protein.
