Customer comments
Works beautifully, as always with any Hello Bio product! We tested this ECL Western Blotting substrate kit and it works marvelously. We get comparable result to our previous supplier's kit and are committed to switching to Hello Bio products for our ECL WB. Thank you Hello Bio as always for a wonderful product!Verified customer, Aston University
I used your ECL solution for a trial and it worked well on my blots, I liked it! Less background and less incubation time which was great.Verified customer, University of Bristol
Description
High sensitivity ECL solution for developing chemiluminescent Western blots
Figure 1. Representative blots for Neurofilament L of SuperBlotTM ECL Western Blotting Substrate Kit (High sensitivity) and competitor solutions
Representative blots of Hello Bio ECL solutions and competitors showing SuperBlotTM ECL Western Blotting Substrate Kit (High sensitivity) providing extremely high sensitivity with low background. Method: A 12% acrylamide gel was loaded with a dilution series of rat brain cytosol fraction (10µg to 5ng total protein per lane) and transferred to a PVDF membrane. This was then probed with a monoclonal rabbit anti-neurofilament L antibody (HB7266, 1:10,000 dilution, 100ng/ml) primary antibody and goat anti-rabbit HRP (1:10,000 dilution) secondary antibody. The blot was exposed with every ECL solution (500µl part A + 500µl part B) using a Licor Odyssey Fc digital imager . For more information on Western Blotting please see our Western blotting protocol.

SuperBlotTM ECL Western Blotting Substrate Kit (High sensitivity) shows extremely high sensitivity equivalent to Thermofisher SuperSignalTM West Femto Maximum Sensitivty Substrate. Method: 12% acrylamide gels were loaded with a dilution series of rat brain cytosol fraction (10µg to 5ng total protein per lane) and transferred to PVDF membranes. These were then probed with a monoclonal rabbit anti-neurofilament L antibody (HB7266, 1:10,000 dilution, 100ng/ml) primary antibody and goat anti-rabbit HRP (1:10,000 dilution) secondary antibody. All blots were exposed with every ECL solution (500µl part A + 500µl part B) in a fully randomised Latin square design to avoid any order effects. ECL exposure was carried out following the protocol detailed in "Application Notes". Imaging was carried out using a Licor Odyssey Fc digital imager and all band intensities were calculated in Licor Image Studio.

SuperBlotTM ECL Western Blotting Substrate Kit (High sensitivity) is able to detect Neurofilament L in as little as 1.5pg of rat brain cytosol fraction. Method: A nitrocellulose membrane was spotted with a dilution series of rat brain cytosol fraction (450ng to 1.5pg). Following blocking in 5% non-fat dry milk the membrane was probed with a monoclonal rabbit anti-neurofilament L antibody (HB7266, 1:10,000 dilution, 100ng/ml) primary antibody and goat anti-rabbit HRP (1:10,000 dilution) secondary antibody. The blot was exposed with SuperBlotTM ECL Western Blotting Substrate Kit (High sensitivity) (750µl part A + 750µl part B) using a Licor Odyssey Fc digital imager.

Biological Data
Application notes
Protocol for Chemiluminescent blot development with ECL
Digital Imaging
Remove blot from the final wash solution and place on an imaging tray
Mix equal quantities of part A and part B solutions being careful not to contaminate solutions by changing pipette tips
For a 10x7.5cm gel we recommend 750µl of each solution
Add combined solutions to the blot making sure to cover the entire area.
Cover blot with a clear transparent sheet of plastic to prevent evaporation then immediately image.
Be careful to not introduce any bubbles as these will show up in the final image.
Film Imaging
Mix equal quantities of part A and part B solutions being careful not to contaminate solutions by changing pipette tips.
For a 10x7.5cm gel we recommend 750µl of each solution
Add combined solutions to a sheet of cling film large enough to fit the blot.
Remove the blot from the final wash buffer, dab off any excess then place into the ECL solution. Use tweezers move the blot in order to soak it in ECL making sure to cover each side thoroughly.
Dab off any excess ECL with filter paper then place into a pocket of clear plastic within a X-ray imaging cassette.
Be careful to not introduce any bubbles as these will show up in the final image.
Move to a dark room.
Cut a piece of X-ray film to size then tape to the opposing door of the cassette. Close the cassette in one clean motion so that the film and blot are now in contact.
Expose the film for an appropriate amount of time.
This will vary depending on the target protein and which primary and secondary antibodies are used.
Open the cassette and develop the film.
