Description
ECL Basic Chemiluminescence Detection Kit (Pico-grade) is a non-radioactive chemiluminescence system designed for detecting the activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated to membrane-bound proteins. This product contains an enhanced luminol substrate and a stable peroxide solution, enabling the detection of trace amounts of protein as low as the pico-gram level. It is suitable for routine Western Blot chemiluminescence detection.Component ListComponent100 mL500 mLStorageE1491297AECL PicoLight Substrate50 mL250 mL2-8℃.

For strong target protein signals, avoid letting the working solution remain static. Gently agitate the membrane on a shaker for 1–2 minutes to prevent local depletion of reactants, which may affect the linear detection range.Remove the membrane and drain any excess working solution. Wrap it in a transparent protective cover.X-ray Film Exposure: In a darkroom, expose the membrane to X-ray film. Exposure times may vary from seconds to minutes. Develop the film and adjust exposure time for repeat imaging if necessary.CCD Imager: The membrane can be directly imaged without a protective cover. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for image capture.The membrane can be stripped and reprobed for multiple hybridizations.PrecautionsProtect PicoLight ECL Substrate and the working solution from strong light to avoid reduced sensitivity.Due to the high sensitivity of the solution, avoid using overly concentrated antibodies to prevent high background signals.Sodium azide (NaN₃) inhibits HRP activity. Do not use NaN₃ for storing or reusing secondary antibodies.Wear a lab coat and disposable gloves for personal safety.This product is for research use only
