This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. Low concentrations of sample are more easily detected because they are not spread throughout the thickness of the gel but are “concentrated” on the surface also, membranes are easier to handle and manipulate. A blot allows for rapid staining and destaining protocols of the separated proteins. Once on a solid support, procedures that would otherwise proved difficult or impossible in the gel can be undertaken. The technique itself has been modified and extended over the years ( 4). ( 3) is cited many thousands of times a year. Today, the original article by Towbin et al. Continuing the geographic theme following Southern's publication of his method for the identification of specific DNA fragments ( 1) in 1975 and the introduction of Northern blotting ( 2) not long after, the technique became known as Western blotting. Protein blotting, the transfer of proteins from a separating gel onto a thin uniform support matrix, first appeared in 1979.
