Western blotting has become a pillar in protein biology workflows by combining molecular weight-based separation with high-affinity protein-specific antibody-based detection, and has been optimized over the years to address common concerns. Recently, innovative advancements have dramatically improved the performance of western blotting while reducing hands-on time of this classically laborious, yet powerful protein detection method.

During this webinar, presenters will discuss challenges with the traditional western blot workflow and introduce convenient and cost-effective solutions that enable better western results. You will also learn about the new iBind™ Western System, an automated western blot processing device that is hands-free, reproducible, requires less primary antibody and is compatible with downstream western blot detection protocols.

Who Should Attend

Anyone involved with western blotting including:

  • Graduate students
  • Lab managers
  • Post-docs
  • Principal investigators
  • Professors
  • Scientists
  • Technicians

You Will Learn

  • Ways to optimize protein separation, transfer, and detection versus traditional methods
  • New product innovations that can improve time to result and blot-to-blot variability
  • How life science researchers are addressing their current western blot workflow
