Abstract:
Dot blotting for the quantification of proteins usually requires expensive devices. Here we present an inexpensive way to facilitate dot blotting in a 96-well format. An agarose gel was used as sample reservoir, and proteins were electrophoretically transferred from the gel to a membrane. Dots produced by this technique were applied to reproducible immunoquantification of proteins such as beta-actin and doublecortin.

Western Blotting
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
Southern Blot
Denatured DNA fragments must be transferred onto a carrier membrane from the gel to make it accessible to a probe - a small ssDNA fragment complementary to the target DNA...
