The best photodocumentation system on the market. An excellent investment.
Rating: 3.7

  • Application Area: Analysis of the signaling pathways involved in apoptosis

"It is definitely the best on the market for acquisition and analysis of images of blots, both those obtained by chemiluminescence and those obtained by fluorescence. In addition, it is also the very versatile since you can photo-document protein gels stained with Coomasie, silver, etc., nucleic acid gels stained with ethidium bromide or with fluorochromes. In summary, the best."

Great product that has drastically increased productivity!
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Antibody testing and validation

"The Bio-Rad V3 workflow system has drastically increased productivity in my lab. The time savings from each step of the experiment has increased the throughput of our testing too. Going from essentially 5-6 hours for a Western to 2-3 hours has freed up time in the lab to focus on other areas of improvement too. The ChemiDoc imager produces high quality images too. I still believe that film is more sensitive, but the digital images are still more than sufficient for my needs. Also, its a much more sustainable solution to developing."

  • Application Area:Protein Transfer For Analysis

"Bio-Rad Western transfer system is very easy to use, as per my experience it takes only 45 mins- 60 minutes for blot transfer. More over as the buffer tank is made as single unit without joints as compared with other companies, there is no tension of buffer leak from it. The electrophoresis blotting module is very easy to handle as it has got lock and key function. In nut shell advantages of western blot unit. 1. Its buffer tank 2. Blotting module 3. Least buffer required 4. Less time consuming 5. Easy handling "

"It is a good, easy and quick way for western blot analysis. I wish it would be more sensitive for some low expression level protein detection. "

  • Application Area:Signaling pathway studies

"This system is very useful for gel documentation and analysis of protein expression using western blotting technique. This system gives good qualitative images of expressed proteins and quantitative analysis data. It is also a very good system for DNA and RNA analysis. This system is easy to use and analyze the data using software for JPEG, TIF and original images to generate the qualitative and quantitative data for publications."

Review date: 03 Jun 2013 | V3 Western Workflow™

Bio-Rad's V3 Western Workflow is a five-step approach to streamlining your western blotting protocol. The V3 Western Workflow facilitates speed and validation at each step of a western blotting experiment — from running gels to quantifying proteins.

The complete V3 workflow incorporates traditional blotting techniques with innovative tools, such as TGX Stain-Free™ precast gels, the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ system, and the ChemiDoc™ MP imager, to quickly check electrophoresis results and blot transfer quality prior to western blotting, simplifying total protein quantitation analysis post-immunodetection to obtain results faster.

 

V3 Western Workflow™ 5 Step Workflow:

  1. Separate proteins — Mini-PROTEAN® TGX Stain-Free™ precast gels and Criterion™ TGX Stain-Free™ precast gels offer superior protein separation with fast run times and use standard Tris/glycine running buffers. TGX Stain-Free™ precast gels contain a unique technology formulated into the gel chemistry that enables rapid, high-quality separation of proteins in as little as 15 minutes.
  2. Visualize proteins — Protein separation can be visualized and confirmed using stain-free technology, which covalently binds proteins, after 1 minute of activation on a ChemiDoc MP imager. This allows the immediate visualization of proteins across the whole gel without staining. Stain-free technology is a sensitive, time-saving alternative to traditional Coomassie staining, offering a streamlined workflow.
  3. Transfer proteins — The Trans-Blot Turbo system is a rapid protein transfer apparatus that can reduce transfer protocols to as little as 3 minutes while maintaining high-efficiency protein transfers across a wide range of molecular weights.
  4. Verify protein transfer — The ChemiDoc MP imager paired with stain-free technology enables instant verification of protein transfer.
  5. Validate and quantitate — The ChemiDoc MP imager and Image Lab™ software may be used to validate western blotting data via total protein normalization in conjunction with housekeeping proteins. By normalizing to total protein, stripping and reprobing is no longer necessary. Image Lab software gives quantitative results instead of relative normalization.
