The highly sensitive chemiluminescence substrate detects proteins (Western Blot) or nucleic acids (Southern and Northern Blot) labelled directly with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or indirectly with HRP-labelled antibodies/streptavidin. ServaLight Vega does this without requiring changes to standard protocols, since it can simply be used in place of a standard ECL substrate. Producing the working solution doesn't even require any specialist know-how from users either, as all they need to do is mix two components in equal parts. Solutions produced in this way are also stable for at least five days and can therefore be used for several blots, which makes repeat tests more reproducible. This also brings economic and ecological benefits, as labs end up discarding less solution.

Serva promises top-class blot results thanks to the product's high signal intensity, a low picogram limit of detection, low background and a high signal/noise ratio. Antibodies can therefore be diluted more extensively, which helps reduce costs. Finally, short exposure times save hours of sitting around the detection device, freeing up time that scientists can use, for example, to visit trade fairs like LABVOLUTION and discover new products for day-to-day routine analytics.
