Fast Western Blot Kits, SuperSignal West Pico 

The increased Western blot sensitivity you need with speed you want.

The Thermo Scientific Pierce Fast Western Blot Kit, SuperSignal West Pico Substrate contains optimized reagents and protocol that allows picogram levels of detection and shortens typical Western blot development to less than 1 hour after the gel transfer.

These Fast Western Blot Kits require minimal hands-on time and yield results comparable to classic Western blotting with SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate. The kits contain all the reagents necessary to complete a Western blot being probed with either a mouse or rabbit primary antibody. Like other Western blotting methods, the included SuperSignal West Pico Substrate produces a chemiluminescent signal that is detectable using photographic or other imaging methods. The developed blots can be repeatedly exposed and stripped of the primary antibody and reprobed.

Highlights of the Pierce Fast Western Blot Kit, SuperSignal West Pico Substrate:

  • Fast – picogram levels of detection in about 1 hour
  • Convenient – no expensive hardware or vacuum required; no clogging issues
  • Simple – optimized protocol makes Western blot analysis easier than ever
  • Economical – cost as little as $14 per blot; no expensive consumables or extra equipment
  • Excellent stability – kit is stable for 1 year stored at 4°C
  • Easy – complete kits contain all components needed to block, probe and develop a blot with your mouse or rabbit primary antibody

About the Fast Western Blot Kits

The Pierce Fast Western Blot Kits are reagent-based system that provide optimized reagents for blocking, antibody dilution and detection of Western blots. The Fast Western Blot Kit protocol is quick and efficient method for developing Western blots without the need to purchase expensive instrumentation and consumables required by other popular rapid Western blotting systems.

Comparision of other Western blotting protocols to the Thermo Scientific Pierce Fast Western System. This table provides a comparison of the steps and times required to develop Western blot, after the transfer, using the Pierce Fast Western reagent-based system and instrument-based system from Millipore Corporation.
