Western Blot Troubleshooting

Western blotting is a molecular biology technique that allows the presence (or absence), size and abundance of a specific protein to be determined, even within a complex mixture of proteins from cells or tissues. This means that the technique can be used amongst other things to: verify the success of gene editing or modification experiments using protein expression, investigate disease and detect tagged proteins.
