Fast, Cost-Effective Cell-Based Assays for Quantitative Cell Signaling Analysis

The In-Cell Western™ Assay is an immunocytochemical assay that uses near-infrared fluorescence to detect and quantify proteins in fixed cells. Detecting proteins in their cellular context increases quantification precision. Proteins in fixed, cultured cells are detected directly in microplates, which … Continue reading

Seeding Cells in Microplates for In-Cell Western™ Assays – Hints & Tips

One of the first steps in an In-Cell Western Assay experiment is to seed cells into the wells of a tissue culture microplate. Cell density is more important for some cell lines than others. In particular, cells that depend more … Continue reading
