Scientists seeking reproducible data in their experiments are often confounded with the results from western blot assays. The steps for processing western blots require precise performance of blocking and antibody incubation. When these steps are performed manually, any error or variation that occurs is directly responsible for inconsistent results (Koller and Wätzig, 2005, Precision [...]
In 2009, several people in Mangala village, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa, contracted acute hemorrhagic fever, and a novel rhabdovirus, Bas-Congo Virus or BASV, was detected in one of the serum samples. The precise mode of transmission remained unclear, but health officials were worried that BASV was emerging as a human [...]
The Qsep100 DNA Analyzer tool for DNA analysis and immunoassays quickly resolves DNA fragments in the range of 10 to 20,000 with 2 to 4 bp resolution.
Hands-free, automated Western blots processed with the BlotCycler™ optimizes shaking, washing, and antibody incubation and eliminates nonspecific bands.
