Loading control guide

We offer a validated range of loading control antibodies. 19 targets are available in multiple pack sizes and several HRP conjugates. Use our table to find the right loading control for your western blots.

Article

Actin, an essential player in cell adhesion and migration

Found in all eukaryotic cells, actin is a protein essential to maintain cell structure. In humans, three main actin groups have been identified - alpha, beta. Actin is used as a loading control for western blotting to normalize protein loading. Read full article.

Article

Electrophoresis for western blot

Discover our detailed electrophoresis protocol, including the preparation of PAGE gels and loading controls.

Actin filament polymerization

Exlpore targets to the research process of actin polymerization

Article

Western blot protocol

Our western blot protocol is a quick guide to help with your experiment, and includes a list of solutions and reagents.

Protocol

Knock-out (KO) validation: confirming antibody specificity

To ensure you have highly specific antibodies, we use KO validation via CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing to give you the reliable results your research demands.

Article

Western blot sample preparation

Discover various sample preparations, including lysis buffers, lysate from cell culture, lysate from tissues and determination of protein concentration.

Protocol

Western blot membrane stripping

Discover our protocol for western blot membrane stripping and restaining with step-by-step details on the removal of antibodies from western blot membranes.
