About this manual

This document provides step-by-step instructions for using the iBright™ Imaging Systems Sample Blot to capture chemiluminescent and fluorescent images. It details how to place the blot, select dyes, use Smart Exposure, and capture images. The guide also explains how to analyze results, including molecular weight determination using a prestained protein ladder and normalization between channels.

The document includes figures illustrating image capture and analysis, and notes that the software automatically identifies lanes and bands. It also contains legal disclaimers, warranty information, and contact details for support.

Frequently asked questions

How do I place the sample blot for imaging?

Place the sample blot in the center of the imaging tray.

Which dyes can I use for fluorescent acquisition?

Alexa Fluor™ 488, Alexa Fluor™ 555, and Alexa Fluor™ 680.

How do I perform molecular weight determination?

Select a lane with the iBright™ Prestained Protein Ladder, delete the 80 kDa and 30 kDa bands if needed, and use the software to identify bands for accurate MW calculation.

How do I normalize the image?

Use the Alexa Fluor™ 488 channel as the normalization lane and Alexa Fluor™ 680 as the experimental protein target.
