Title:
MICROSCALE WESTERN BLOT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/106693
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for integrating the electrophoresis and blotting of samples. A capillary electrophoresis and blotting system allows concomitant electrophoretic separation and blotting to provide a rapid and simplified process. A microfluidic electrophoresis and blotting system provides electrophoretic separation in a microfluidic channel followed by electroblotting from the microfluidic channel to also provide a rapid and simplified process. These systems and methods can be used to assay smaller amounts of sample in less time than conventional processes, including conventional Western blotting techniques.
