Antibody Not Working for Western Blot? Guide to Troubleshooting No Signals
When your antibody fails to detect a signal, the problem can be complex. Is it the antibody itself? The sample? Or the protocol? This guide provides a complete troubleshooting protocol for "no signal" Westerns. We dive into the most common reason for failure and then provide a systematic checklist. Learn how to diagnose issues with your transfer using Ponceau S, why your blocking buffer might be the culprit, and how one common preservative could be killing your signal.
