Jess Instrument (JS-5500)
Location: SRC 320H
Descripton: The Jess™ Simple Western™ System from ProteinSimple, a Bio-Techne brand, revolutionizes traditional Western blotting with a fully automated, capillary-based immunoassay platform. Jess streamlines protein separation, immunodetection, and data analysis, eliminating the tedious, error-prone steps of conventional Western blot and ELISA techniques.
With 30 minutes of setup and 3 hours of hands-free run time, Jess delivers highly reproducible, quantitative protein analysis with chemiluminescent and best-in-class fluorescent detection. Featuring picogram-level sensitivity, built-in total protein normalization, and ELISA-like quantification with molecular weight characterization, Jess enables robust and reliable protein detection.
Jess enhances workflow efficiency with high-throughput capability, supporting 13- and 25-sample capillary cartridges for multiplexed analysis. The fluorescent detection modules (Stellar NIR/IR) allow simultaneous detection of multiple protein targets with exceptional sensitivity, preserving valuable samples.
After each run, Jess provides comprehensive data analysis, including quantitative lane views, standard curve generation, and precise protein size and concentration measurements. Multiplexing capabilities enable the simultaneous detection of multiple proteins, facilitating comparative expression analysis in a single experiment.
By integrating chemiluminescent and fluorescent assays in the same run, Jess overcomes the limitations of traditional methods—no membrane stripping, no reprobing, no sample pooling—ensuring consistent, reliable results.
