NORTHERN BLOT

Application Overview

Two-color detection of Cyclin G and GAPDH with Northern Blot imaged on the Odyssey Imager

Fluorescent Detection of Northern Blots can be Performed with the Odyssey Systems

  • Label probe by incorporation of the desired nucleotide:
    Biotin-16-dUTP*(Roche Applied Science,
    catalog # 11093070910)

    Aminoallyl dUTP*

    • Label probe with reactive dye prior to hybridization

  • Sensitivity equivalent to chemiluminescence

    • Fluorescent method allows accurate quantification

    • No hazardous materials or radioactivity

    • No waiting during exposures or film processing

    • Sharp bands with no "blow-out”

  • Well suited for DNA macroarrays1

Mouse heart RNA

Figure 1. [ABOVE] A biotinylated GAPDH probe was hybridized to mouse heart total RNA and detected with near-infrared streptavidin and the Odyssey system. The graph shows quantification of the Northern blot results.
