PELCO silver enhancement kits

Kits for silver enhancement of gold and silver conjugate labelled samples in dot blot, Western Blots, and microscopy. Using these straightforward kits, sensitivity in the picogram range can be achieved in 5–8-minute staining time all while maintaining a low background.

Amplification of the gold and silver nanoparticle label is a result of the deposition of silver on the nanoparticle surface during the reaction and increases the sensitivity of the nanoparticle conjugate labeling up to 100-fold. This allows for detection of scarce targets.

Two silver enhancement kits are available, one for microscopy and one for membranes. The Microscopy Kit is ideal for use in light microscopy and electron microscopy applications, and includes 50ml of working solution (staining of 50-100 microscope slides). The Membrane Kit is ideal for applications such as Western Blots and dot blot assays, and includes 500ml of working solution (staining of ~100 membrane strips or 10-20 membranes).
