Thermo Scientific™ SuperSignal™ West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate
Description
Thermo Scientific SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate is an enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrate that enables picogram to high femtogram-level protein detection by western blot analysis.
SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate characteristics include:
- Sensitivity: picogram to femtogram sensitivity
- Stability: 8-hr working solution stability; 1-year kit stability at room temperature
- Compatibility: nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes
- Signal duration: 6 to 24 hours
- Recommended primary antibody concentration: 1:1000–1:5000 dilution (0.2–1.0 μg/mL)
- Recommended secondary antibody concentration: 1:20,000–100,000 dilution (10–50 ng/mL)
SuperSignal West Pico PLUS substrate is designed to provide excellent signal intensity and sensitivity for western blotting with HRP conjugates. The intensity of the light emission combined with the exceptional duration allows for the acquisition of multiple exposures to more easily obtain publication-quality blot images. SuperSignal West Pico PLUS substrate is compatible with different membranes, blocking reagents, and a wide range of antibody dilutions, making it an ideal choice for most western blotting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
To prepare the working solution for the SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate, follow these steps:
- Mix equal parts of the SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Luminol/Enhancer Solution and SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Stable Peroxide Solution. For example, for a mini blot, mix 5 mL of SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Luminol/Enhancer Solution with 5 mL of SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Stable Peroxide Solution.
- Ensure that the volume is sufficient to completely wet the blot and prevent it from drying out. The recommended volume is 0.1 mL/cm2.
- Note that the working solution is stable for up to 8 hours at room temperature. Avoid exposure to the sun or other intense light. Short-term exposure to lab lighting is okay.
