The Single Cell Western Blot Has Arrived
Milo is the world’s first Single Cell Western blotting platform that measures protein expression in ~1000 single cells per run using conventional Western blot antibodies. Simply load your cell suspension on a scWest chip, then Milo performs lysis, SDS-PAGE separation, and UV-induced immobilization of each single cell lysate on-chip in a matter of minutes. Probe the scWest chip with conventional Western blot antibodies and use a microarray scanner to measure ~12 proteins per cell using a variety of multiplexing strategies, or store your chip for up to 9 months for future analysis.
Discover the World of Single Cell Proteomics with Milo
Here are just a few examples of the single cell analysis studies that are made possible with Single Cell Western blot analysis on Milo.

Easier Than Single Cell Flow Cytometry
Milo is easier to use than other single cell analysis technologies like single cell flow cytometry. With Milo’s single cell analysis, you can detect proteins in single cells that escape detection by single cell flow cytometry due to their intracellular location or due to the lack of flow cytometry-validated antibodies. You can also pair Milo with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to sort cell subtypes or live/dead cells for downstream single cell analysis on Milo.

Publish Your Single Cell Western Blots in Premier Journals
Milo has proven its ability to provide new and profound scientific insight that traditional Western blots cannot. This fact is reflected in the rank of the journals that feature articles with Single Cell Western blot data with the vast majority (74%) of articles featuring Single Cell Western blot data in top journals with impact factors of 7 or greater including Science, Cell, Nature Methods, Nature Communications, and Cell Reports. 32% of Single Cell Western blot publications are in journals considered here to be in the premier category with an impact factor greater than 21.
