Chemidoc mp digital imaging system

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United Kingdom

The ChemiDoc MP digital imaging system is a high-performance imaging device designed for a variety of laboratory applications. It captures and analyzes images of chemiluminescent, fluorescent, and colorimetric samples, including Western blots, gels, and molecular arrays. The system features a highly sensitive CCD camera, advanced optics, and a user-friendly software interface to enable efficient image acquisition and data analysis.

Protein extracts (20 μg
proteins/lane) were separated by
SDS-PAGE using 10% Bis-Tris NuPAGE Novex Gel (Fisher Scientific, Loughborough,
U.K.) according to the protocol described in the Supporting Information. After running, gels were separated
and transferred to PVDF (poly(vinylidene difluoride)) membranes using
a Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, U.K.) for
100 min at 125 V. Afterward, PVDF membranes were removed and blocked
in 5% milk in PBST (PBS, pH 7.2–7.5, 0.05% Tween-20) overnight
at 4 °C. Membranes were washed in PBST and then incubated overnight
at 4 °C with primary antibody mouse monoclonal anti-DNP (dinitro-phenyl-hydrazone)
(Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, Cat# A2831, RRID: AB_258033) at 1:1000
dilution. The following day, membranes were washed with PBST and incubated
at room temperature with corresponding horseradish goat antimouse
IgG/peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody (polyclonal goat
antimouse IgG; HRP, Millipore Cat# AP340P-50 ML, RRID: AB_1587164)
diluted at 1:1000. After 1 h of incubation, membranes were washed
in PBST and soaked with Western Enhanced Chemiluminescence substrates
supplied by the kit (Bio-Rad, Hertfordshire, U.K.). The emitted chemiluminescent
signals were detected by a ChemiDoc MP digital imaging system (Bio-Rad,
Hertfordshire, U.K.), and protein visualization was captured by Image
Lab 5.0 software (Bio-Rad).

SDS-PAGE and Western Blotting Protocol

Total cell lysates were prepared in 1x reducing Laemmli sample buffer (2% SDS, 10 glycerol, 50 mM Tris pH 6.8, 2.5% β-mercaptoethanol, 0.002% bromophenol blue). Proteins were denatured by heating to 100 °C for 4 min prior to electrophoresis. Electrophoresis was performed using Bio-Rad 4–15% polyacrylamide mini-TGX gels in a Mini-Protean II system. Proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane using a semi-dry Turbo blotter system (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked for 1 h at room temperature in 5% low-fat milk powder in Tris buffered saline containing 0.2% Tween20 (1TBS.T) before incubation with primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. Following extensive washing in TBS.T, blots were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies. Specific proteins were detected using Immobilon ECL reagent and a ChemiDoc-MP digital imaging system (Bio-Rad, Watford, U.K.).

Western Blot Analysis of Transfected Cells

Transfected HTR8-SVneo cells were lysed in 1 x sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) gel loading buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 100 mM 2-mercaptoethanol) without dyes and immediately boiled for 5 min. Protein concentrations were determined by the Bradford Assay [46 (link)] using the Bio-Rad protein assay dye reagent (Cat. #500–0006; Bio-Rad Laboratories). Protein lysates (10 μg protein/lane) were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and electroblotted to 0.2 μm nitrocellulose membranes (Cat #: 162–0097; Bio-Rad). After blocking the membranes with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline Tween-20 (TBST; 20 mM Tris, 137 mM NaCl, and 0.1% Tween-20, pH 7.6) for 1 h, membranes were incubated with appropriate specific primary antibodies (Table 1). Immunoblots were then washed with TBST followed by incubation in horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antiserum (Table 1) for 1 h. The immunoblots were again washed with TBST and protein-antisera complexes detected using the Pierce SuperSignal West Pico chemiluminescent substrate detection system (Cat. # 34080; ThermoFisher Scientific). Multiple exposures were acquired using a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc MP digital imaging system. Membranes were subsequently probed for Tubulin (TUBA) expression, which served as a loading control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
