No need to pool samples like mouse nervous tissue. Simple Western™ offers pg-level sensitivity and only requires 3 microliters of sample. Significantly save costs and mouse lives while getting single-animal statistical data. To get the most data out of precious nerve cells, Simple Western also eliminates the arduous strip and re-probe procedure by offering RePlex™, which efficiently removes the antibodies from the first round of probing for a second round of probing with fresh antibodies. The second round may also be used for Total Protein Detection, so you can normalize your data with confidence.

Single-cell protein expression information is often critical to understanding the composition and behavior of complex biological samples. Milo™ is the world's first Single-Cell Western platform, allowing you to identify and quantify the percentage of nerve cell subtypes in your sample and track differentiation of neural progenitor cells based on subtype-specific marker expression analysis. Analyze approximately 1,000 single cells at a time and detect up to 12 protein targets per cell using a variety of multiplex strategies.
