Our decades of leadership and expertise in electrophoresis and blotting are reflected in the quality and selection of instruments, precast gels, and reagents we offer.
Use these lab activities to teach protein analytical techniques including extraction, quantitation, separation, and analysis using SDS-PAGE, western blotting, enzyme and quantitation assays, and ELISA.
Use this modular, 3–5 week laboratory course to guide students through a complete protein expression and purification workflow.
Teach a Real-World Application: Diagnostic Assays
ELISA Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)
Teach your students how the specificity of antibodies is used to detect infections, GMOs, and markers that enable diagnosis of cancer, pregnancy, or drug use.
Teach Protein Quantitation
Explore the Bradford Method
Protein quantitation using the Bradford method is a ubiquitous technique in biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology labs. Teach this technique, test pipetting skills, incorporate math, and add relevant context for your students with these two engaging lab activity options.

Teach Enzyme Kinetics
Enzyme Activity Assays
Transform your students into bioengineers as they measure and optimize the enzyme kinetics of cellobiase and explore its connection to both biofuel production and mushroom ecology.

Teach Protein Extraction and Separation
Chromatography, SDS-PAGE, and Blotting
Introduce your students to protein extraction and separation workflows, the workhorses of any biotechnology laboratory.
Teach a Complete Protein Expression and Purification Workflow
Protein Expression and Purification Series
This modular, 3–5 week laboratory course guides students through a complete protein expression and purification workflow: express, purify, and perform enzymatic analysis on the recombinant protein dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR).
