Bio-Rad’s New 4x Laemmli Sample Buffer for SDS-PAGE

Detecting dilute protein samples using standard protein gel stains can be problematic. One method of enabling increased sample capacity on gels is to increase the well size. The newly introduced 4x Laemmli sample buffer improves sample loading capacity, improving the detection of low-abundance proteins.

Novel V3 Western Workflow™ Revolutionizes Protein Research

Although the Western blot is a core lab procedure, surprisingly little has changed in traditional bench work practice since its inception in 1979. The V3 Western Workflow delivers a streamlined solution to the conventional western blotting workflow as explored here by one protein researcher specializing in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

A Simple Method for Obtaining Absolute Quantification of DNA Molecules Using the Innovative Droplet Digital™ PCR Technology

Droplet digital PCR is considered the third generation of PCR technology. This technology enables the quantification of absolute measure of target DNA molecules, rather than the relative measure obtained from real-time PCR. Absolute quantification is advantageous in several applications, such as measuring copy number variation, detecting rare sequences and mutations, and analyzing gene expression.

Using the new PROTEAN® i12™ IEF System to Achieve Highly Reproducible Data and Extended Separation Over Multiple pH Ranges in a Single Run

2-D electrophoresis is a multistep technique that separates proteins first by a protein’s isoelectric point and then by its molecular weight. This powerful technique can separate thousands of proteins in a complex proteome and is useful for applications such as protein profiling and biomarker discovery. The drawback of the technique is that it requires multiple steps, each of which can be time-consuming and can contribute to problems with reproducibility.
