A groundbreaking addition to imaging technology has arrived — the ChemiDoc Go Imaging System. The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System is tailored for both gel and western blot imaging, including chemiluminescence and StarBright Blue fluorescent detection. Its compatibility with various trays and LED configurations ensures optimal performance across different experimental setups, including gel excision, nucleic acid staining, and protein detection.

The ChemiDoc Go Imaging System, the newest in the ChemiDoc imaging line, effortlessly captures precise, high-sensitivity images of western blots and nucleic acid gels from a compact benchtop system — transforming lab workflows. Explore how this next-generation imager redefines your research capabilities across various applications, including multiplexing and stain-free protein detection.

Protein expression analysis is essential in cell biology research, as it provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms that underlie cellular functions. Traditional methods for protein analysis, such as western blotting and ELISA, are useful for studying protein expression in cell lysates. However, these methods require labor-intensive sample preparation and do not provide information on the spatial distribution of proteins within intact cells. In-Cell Western is a powerful technique that enables quantitative and qualitative in situ protein expression analysis.

Most scientists, no matter where they are at in their career, remember the moments of wonder as they navigated lab work for the first time. Whether it’s a band on a gel, a colony on a plate, or a piece of data, those first tangible results come with a feeling of having accomplished something incredible. More than ten years later, we caught up with two scientists who immortalized that feeling in the form of matching protein ladder tattoos, and discussed how their time as undergraduate researchers led them where they are today.

In the day-to-day pressures of a research environment, it is natural to want to generate important data as quickly as possible. However, there are real benefits in ensuring that the antibody you have picked is the best for your experiment and spending time aliquoting and titrating your antibodies. Bio-Rad recently launched a free Antibody Advice Guide to equip scientists with the knowledge to get the best out of their experiments with antibodies. Read on for five examples of valuable information that you will learn from the guide, helping you generate publication-ready data.

The lack of reproducibility in research has been a source of frustration for scientists. Learn why antibody validation is critical for ensuring specificity and what validation methods Bio-Rad is implementing. Our scientists validate the performance of antibodies through CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing by knockout (KO), siRNA knockdown (KD), and immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry (IP-MS).
