Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ ECL Western Blotting Substrate
Description
Thermo Scientific™ Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate is a value-priced, entry-level peroxidase substrate for enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) that directly replaces costlier products without the need to re-optimize conditions.
Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate provides reliability and performance equivalent to other standard enhanced chemilumescent (ECL) substrates for detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme activity, yet costs much less. Because the luminol and peroxide reagent-formulations are identical to other commercially available substrate products, one can switch to Pierce ECL without needing to optimize probing conditions or incubation protocols. Simply switch to Pierce ECL and save a bundle.
Highlights:
ECL substrate – an enhanced chemiluminescent substrate for detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) activity from antibodies and other Western blot probes
About half the cost of other ECL Substrates – low overhead and a commitment to customer value enables Thermo Fisher Scientific to make this product available to you at a significantly lower price than other companies (these claims are based on the 2010 U.S. list prices)
No optimization required – switching to Pierce ECL substrate from other entry-level ECL substrates does not require optimization or protocol changes
A name you can can rely on – count on the strong quality assurance, technical support and reputation behind Thermo Scientific Pierce Protein Research Products

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Consider transferring to a different membrane or using a different detection method. We have observed increased sensitivity when using PVDF membranes in place of nitrocellulose. On PVDF membranes, using as little as 1 µg of total rat brain protein, PKC can be detected with alkaline phosphatase-mediated chromogenic detection in some cases using affinity-purified antibodies at a concentration of 0.5 µg/mL. Detection sensitivity can also be increased by using chemiluminescent detection, especially when using a SuperSignal West enhanced chemiluminescence subtrate (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/protein-biology/protein-assays-analysis/western-blotting/detect-proteins-western-blot/western-blot-detection-reagents/detection-technologies-western-blotting/chemiluminescent-western-blot-detection/supersignal-chemiluminescent-substrates.html) such as SuperSignal West Pico PLUS, SuperSignal West Dura, or SuperSignal West Femto. The secondary antibody should be used as recommend by the manufacturer and optimized as needed.
