Technical Data Sheet
ROTI®Lumin ultra, 2 x 20 ml in spray bottles
Transport temp. cooled
Superior chemoluminescence substrate for HRP-mediated Western-Blot detection systems.
Art. No. 3734.1
Product details
- Very easy to use
- Spray-and-go or mix by pipetting
- Superior performance for detections in lower femtogram range
- Perfectly suited for all exposition times
- Suitable for NC membranes, optimised for PVDF membranes
Significantly enhanced Western-Blot substrate based on luminol, for chemoluminescent detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on membranes. Through a special, optimised composition, a particularly high signal strength is achieved for over 30 mins. with a second increase at 10 to 15 mins. after application. ROTI®Lumin ultra is, therefore, one of the most sensitive HRP-Chemoluminescence substrate available.
By using pump spray bottles no time-consuming pre-mixing of solutions is required - substrate solution 1 and enhancer solution 2 are simply sprayed onto the membranes. Hereby, the spray technique guarantees a very smooth and regular distribution of the substrate on the membrane surface, hence avoiding artefacts caused by uneven distribution of pipetted substrate. The superior signal strength allows detection of proteins in single femtograms, as well as significant reduction of concentrations of expensive antibodies.
- Spray the membrane with solution 1
- Afterwards spray membrane with solution 2
- Incubate approx. 1 min (wrap membrane in saran foil etc.)
- Exposition
ROTI®Lumin is transformed by the HRP into an excited dianion in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. When the dianion is reversed back to its normal state, light is emitted. The light emission of ROTI®Lumin reaches its maximum within 5 minutes and remains at the maximum level for approx. 1-2 hours.
ROTI®Lumin ultra ready-to-use, for protein and cytoimmunochemistry
For a mini blot of 7 × 8 cm size 3-4 pump strokes are necessary.
In case passed down protocols are to be used the spray-bottles may easily be unscrewed, mixing and applying the solutions by pipetting.
For very short exposure we recommend use of ROTI®Lumin ultra.
