Developing Your Immunoblot Membrane

After the 1 hour secondary time has passed take your membranes into trays of TBST to wash three times for 10 minutes
Cut new sheet protector for your membranes (they can be in one protector)
Take your pico developing solutions (two bottles on bench: brown and clear) with a 15 ml tube, a pipette, and a tube rack to the scanner
Quickly take your membranes into the plastic (dry a little) and bring to the scanner
AT THE SCANNER mix the brown and white solution in the 15 ml tube and flush
The developing solution is 1:1 so divide the total amount needed by 2

Example: 4.5 ml total so 2.25 ml of brown and 2.25 ml of clear
