Western blot protocols — versioned, with troubleshooting and fixes.
Western blotting detects a specific protein by size after gel separation and membrane transfer. Most failures cluster in a few places: incomplete transfer of high-molecular-weight or membrane proteins, over-blocking that kills the signal, and nonspecific bands from antibody or lot issues. The western blot protocols below keep those fixes visible — version by version.
