Enhanced chemiluminescence ecl system

Manufactured by GE Healthcare
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

The Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) system is a laboratory equipment designed to detect and quantify proteins in Western blot analyses. It utilizes a chemiluminescent reaction to produce light, which is then captured and measured by a compatible imaging device. The system provides a sensitive and reliable method for protein detection and analysis.

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.
