The  benefit  of the digital  pictures  is that they are  effortlessly   moved  and you can  convey  out some quantitative  investigation  on them more  effortlessly  too. I acquiesce the sensitivity of the movies can occasionally be better, but its not been an topic for me. I'm attractive altered to the Digital imaging now.

I never develop X-ray film. Could you give me a protocol or same advice?

Modern camera-based systems are to prefer since developing immunoblots have a longer linear range of detection; besides, classical films need a threshold level of light for darkening; a third advantage is that normally camera-based systems are offered with a professional gel documentation and analysis software

Hi guys,
I've been asked to source all the equipment and reagents needed to set up western blot in the lab, starting from scratch (all we have is a Nupage electrophoresis tank).  I know my preferences for transfer system, membranes, reagents....  but I'm having doubts on the developing method. In the past I've always used ECL and x-ray films, but I know more and more labs these days favour other chemiluminescent reagents and imaging as you get a better control on exposure and a better dynamic range.

So here's my question.  

What method do you use to develop a western?
