At Bio-Rad we like to support and guide you through this process by providing our expertise and product solutions that takes you to \u201cthe perfect Western Blot\u201d quicker and with less effort. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With Bio-Rad Stain-Free Western Blot Workflow you will be able to verify your separation and transfer through the process to avoid wasting valuable time and reagents on a blot where the transfer failed. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bio-rad.com\/en-se\/category\/stain-free-western-blotting?ID=QHYNKWTU86LJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stain-Free technology<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>adds speed and enables quality assessment at each step of a western blotting experiment \u2014 from running gels to quantitating proteins. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bio-Rad\u2019s Stain-Free western blotting provides practical, convenient, and reliable way to perform total protein normalization (TPN). Which enables total protein in loaded sample to be measured, eliminates immune-blotting interference associated with HKP and accounts for variations during loading, electrophoresis, and transfer. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Why is Stain-Free Total Protein Normalization a Superior Method?\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The use of traditional total protein stains can hinder downstream visualization of a western blot, usually requiring repetitive staining and destaining steps which is one of the obstacles preventing wider adaptation of TPN.
