Simple Western Assays
A Simple Western assay is an automated Western - no gels, no transfer devices, no blots, no film and no man-
ual analysis.
Simple Westerns take place in a capillary. Sally Sue and Peggy Sue automate all steps of the process for you
including sample loading, protein separation, immunoprobing or labeling, washing, detection and data
analysis. Up to 12 samples can be analyzed simultaneously in a single cycle and up to 8 cycles (96 samples)
can be processed in a single run.
Sally Sue performs Simple Western size-based assays (Immunoassay and Total Protein assay) and Peggy Sue
can do both size-based and charge-based assays. All you have to do is pipette your samples, separation
reagents and immunoreagents into the plate, load the capillaries and press start.
