ScanLater Western Blot Detection Cartridge by Molecular Devices®

Designed specifically for the SpectraMax® i3 and Paradigm® Multi-Mode Detection Platforms, the ScanLater™ Western Blot Detection Cartridge adds the first western blot detection capability to a microplate reader. This option allows researchers to do everything from protein detection via western blot to ELISAs on a single detection platform.

The ScanLater System simplifies the traditional western blot protocol by employing a secondary antibody labeled with a europium-chelate. The blot is then read using the ScanLater Western Blot Cartridge on the SpectraMax® i3 or Paradigm Multi-Mode Platforms. No substrates are needed and the blot can be scanned immediately after washing.

The ScanLater™ Western Blot Detection Cartridge is compatible with the SpectraMax® i3 and Paradigm Multi-Mode Detection Platforms.
