Relief to those who perform tedious western blots!!!!

“Biochemists may soon have more time on their hands. Researchers in Michigan have speeded up Western blotting, a biochemistry workhorse for protein separations, by coupling it to an analytical chemistry mainstay, capillary electrophoresis (CE) (Anal. Chem., DOI 10.1021/ac102671n). The new technique produces data in a quarter of the time, and with a fraction of the sample, that Western blots normally use.”

“The result is eliminating the labor-intensive gel-to-membrane transfer.”

This synthetic element is no longer naturally found on earth as the entire universe was created from the products of its decay.

Throwing linguini around the Superdome… A good analogy as to how many molecules of stuff can fit into the nucleus of a cell which is approx. 6 micrometers in diameter.
