PROTOCOL: Developing Autorad film in darkroom for Western immunoblotting

Developer solution= 1 part concentrated developer solution + 4 parts DI water (e.g. 50 mL developer + 200 mL water)

Fixer solution= 1 part concentrated fixer solution + 4 parts DI water (e.g. 50 mL fixer + 200 mL water)

After exposing autorad to ECL-enhanced membranes incubate the autorad in the following solutions, in a flat open container/tub:

  1. Incubate autorad in developer solution for 2 min
  2. Incubate/rinse in DI water for 30 sec
  3. Incubate autorad in fixer solution for 2 min
  4. Incubate/rinse in DI water for 30 sec
  5. Hang-up to airdry
