The new Octoplus compact SPL with interactive 21“ touch display is designed for fast and easy imaging and long-lasting high performance.
The Octoplus compact SPL is enabled for the patented Smart Protein Layers (SPL) Technology for quantitative Western Blot analysis.
By using SPL the amount of detected target protein is normalized to the amount of corresponding protein sample at the same timepoint.
Why at the same time?
After transfer to a blotting membrane (NC, PVDF) the proteins are bound in a non-covalent manner. As 30-70% of the proteins are washed away from the membrane during WB procedure, target and reference proteins should be detected at the same timepoint to achieve accurate quantification.
Why both fluorescence and chemilumi detection?
Different from other LED or Laser-LED systems on the market, the Octoplus compact SPL allows for high-power homogenous fluorescence image acquisition over a large area of up to 16 x 18cm. And when fluorescence conjugated secondaries come to their limit (and they do, when a Western Blot target is really low abundant), the high-sensitivity chemiluminescence detection of the Octoplus compact SPL will help.
