Millipore Issues Fifth Edition of Protein Blotting Handbook

Millipore Corporation has announced the fifth edition of its Protein Blotting Handbook. The publication includes techniques for protein blotting including 17 protocols for protein transfer, visualization, and immunodetection.

This handbook also contains a detailed troubleshooting guide and several innovative methods, such as the Rapid Immunodetection Method that reduces detection time by several hours and the Double Blot Method that eliminates non-specific binding.

The handbook’s membrane selection guide compares and contrasts the two most commonly used membranes for western blotting applications.

It also defines the basic principles and methods for process optimization. The protocols section is a compendium of both traditional blotting-detection methods, such as dot, slot and western blots, and other specialized procedures.

50-pages in length, this reference guide also contains 30 actual blot photographs, references and a glossary of blotting terminology.
