Western Blotting is a biochemical process, used by scientists and researchers, to specify proteins within complex samples. A western blot imager is an effective device to monitor changes in proteins, focusing on expression and modifications. Discerning and qualifying proteins amongst multiple cell lines is central to the study of cellular proteins. Conventional western blot imagers can provide this data, however multiple takes and numerous time-consuming calibrations may be necessary to achieve this. Existing Western Blot imaging systems can be bulky, expensive and have poor sensitivity, because they use either scanning line sensors or lens-coupled CCDs. In this post we compare CMOS image sensors to conventional techniques - X-ray film and cooled lens coupled CCD …
