Product overview
ECL Extra - LumiBlue™ (ab270229) is a solution with a high level of signal intensity and is effective for qualitative and quantitative detection across a wide range of protein concentrations. The solution is sensitive enough to detect 500 fg of protein per band and has a signal duration of up to 12 hours. The working solution is stable for up to three days after activation, allowing convenient experiments spanning multiple days and minimising waste.
ECL Extra - LumiBlue™ is at least 20 times more intense than standard ECL based on phenolic enhancers, allowing lower antibody concentrations and more blots per batch of antibody while still retaining the same sensitivity. This kit provides a comparable level of sensitivity to equivalent ECL kits from leading competitors with the same antibody dilutions, and does not require protocol reoptimization or changes from these kits.
Key Benefits of ECL Extra - LumiBlue™ Include:
Linear response – Novel acylation catalyst provide stable signal over a wide range of protein concentrations
High sensitivity – Detect protein levels as low as 500 fg per band with next generation enhancers
Long lasting signal – Perform multiple exposures with less signal loss
Low background – Optimized formulation for lower backgrounds
Bright bands – Equal or better brightness compared to other ECL solutions

Unique Technology: LumiBlue™ ECL kits are based on the enzymatic oxidation of luminol with peroxide to produce light usually through horseradish peroxidase (HRP). This method is employed by most traditional ECL kits. However, LumiBlue™ improves upon standard ECL kits by using a patented next generation electron mediator coupled with a novel acylation catalyst to improve performance (called enhancers). The combination of these unique modifications to the ECL process increases reaction efficiency resulting in increased light intensity and less signal decay. The different LumiBlue™ kits are extensively optimized for specific antibody dilutions and protein levels giving higher intensity, longer signal stability and wider linearity over traditional ECL kits. This allows for more flexible and cost-effective experimental design.
Linear Response: LumiBlue™ ECL solutions are enhanced by a novel acylation catalyst, resulting in a more linear response to HRP levels than conventional ECL solutions. This increases the range of antibody concentrations at which reliable measurement can occur.
