Colorimetric substrate NBT/BCIP for Western Blot
Colorimetric detection methods in Western blotting are highly valued for their simplicity and reliability. Among the available substrates, Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT) and 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (BCIP) form a widely used pair that reacts with alkaline phosphatase to produce a vivid purple precipitate. This section delves into the characteristics and applications of NBT/BCIP in Western blotting.
Key Features of NBT/BCIP
-
Ease of Use: Requires no specialized imaging equipment; results are visible to the naked eye.
-
Stability: Produces a permanent color signal that remains stable over time.
-
Compatibility: Works effectively with nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes.
-
Applications: Ideal for educational labs, semi-quantitative analysis, and publications requiring visible results.
