Introduction

The new and improved SNAP i.d.®2.0 Protein Detection System is the second generation of the SNAP i.d.®method

for detecting immunoreactive proteins on Western blots. With this unique vacuum-driven system, the length of

time required for immunodetection is greatly reduced. What previously took 4 to 24 hours with traditional Western

blotting methods now takes only 30 minutes with no loss of signal intensity or reduction in blot quality. All

immunodetection steps after protein transfer to a membrane (i.e., blocking, washing, and primary and secondary

antibody incubations) can be performed with the SNAP i.d.®2.0 system.

SNAP i.d.®2.0 Protein Detection System Features

• Processing of up to four blots at a time on a vacuum base with two individually controlled sides

• Three removable blot holding frame sizes: MultiBlot, Mini, and Midi, to accommodate different blot sizes

• Disposable blot holders, sized for MultiBlot, Mini, and Midi frames

• Blot spacer required with first generation SNAP i.d.®system is now integrated into the new blot holder

• Extended and off-line blot processing options: frames have lids and can be removed from the base for

extended incubation (one hour to overnight), incubation in a shaker, or incubation at 4 °C

• Stackable frames so multiple blots can be processed at the same time

• 30-minute immunodetection with uniform signal across the blot

• Greater than 80% antibody recovery using the SNAP i.d.®2.0 Antibody Collection Trays

• Compatible with nitrocellulose and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes

• Works with the most blocking buffers and visualization methodologies (e.g. chemiluminescence, fluorescence,

or colorimetric)

The SNAP i.d.®2.0 Protein Detection System is intended for research use only. It is not for use in

diagnostic procedures.

Materials Required but Not Supplied

• Vacuum source: Pump or other uniform vacuum source that can deliver a sustained minimum pressure of

410 millibar (12 inHg) and 34 L/min. Refer to Ordering Information for pump catalogue numbers.

NOTE: Our WP61 series Chemical Duty Pumps can be used, but may require longer processing times.

• One liter or larger vacuum flask with stopper (for waste collection). A Millex®-FA50 filter (or equivalent)

is recommended between the vacuum flask and the vacuum source to protect the vacuum source from

contamination.

• Vacuum tubing to connect vacuum flask to vacuum source

• Forceps

• Blocking reagent such as non-fat/low fat dry milk (0.5% or less), casein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) or other

commercially available blocking agents such as bløk®-CH buffer (see Table 5)

• Antibodies (monoclonal and/or polyclonal)

• Detection reagents

• Wash buffer: tris- or phosphate-buffered saline solution, pH 7.4, supplemented with Tween®20 surfactant (TBST

or PBST)

• Blot with transferred proteins

General Guidelines

• If proteins have been transferred to PVDF membrane that has been dried out, re-wet the blot with 100%

methanol, then rinse with distilled water prior assembly. If proteins have been transferred to nitrocellulose

membrane that has been dried out, re-wet the blot with distilled water.

• For most applications and for most antibodies, a 0.5% solution of non-fat/low fat dry milk provides sufficient

blocking of the membrane.

NOTE: Do not use dry milk concentrations higher than 0.5% because it can cause clogging of the blot holder

membrane. If using other blocking solutions, refer to Table 5 for compatibility and recommended concentration.

• Always use 0.1% Tween®20 surfactant in the washing, blocking, and antibody buffers. This will reduce the

surface tension of solutions and ensure even distribution of the antibody in the blot holder during incubation.

• Since immunodetection in the SNAP i.d.®2.0 system is performed in a short period of time, it is recommended

that primary and secondary antibody dilutions be prepared prior to starting the procedure.

• The total volume of diluted antibody required is 2.5 mL for the MultiBlot holder, 5 mL for the Mini blot holder,

and 10 mL for the Midi blot holder.

• Four washes of 30 mL each (15 mL for MultiBlot) are needed to ensure the complete wash of the blot after each

incubation step. Refer to Table 2 for details.

• Stripping blots in the SNAP i.d.

2.0 system is not recommended. Blots that have been stripped outside of the

system following a standard protocol can be reprobed in the SNAP i.d.

2.0 system starting with the blocking step.

• If stripping is not required (for example, if detecting with a different secondary antibody), blots can be reprobed

immediately in the SNAP i.d.®2.0 system after a quick wash.

Optimization Guidelines

Antibodies

Optimization guidelines have been developed to enable users to convert the antibody concentrations used in

standard immunodetection assays into concentrations applicable to the SNAP i.d.®2.0 system. Most users will

be able to use the same amount of antibody, but in less volume at a higher concentration than for standard

immunodetection. However, when using the extended antibody protocol (page 12), it is possible to use the same

concentration, volume, and time for the primary antibody that is regularly used for standard immunodetection,

followed by the secondary antibody at a higher concentration for a shorter period of time.

Table 1. How to calculate the antibody concentration required for the SNAP i.d.®2.0 system based on the

concentration used for standard immunodetection

Because each antibody is unique, and the sensitivity of detection reagents varies, it may be necessary to adjust

the antibody or antigen concentration, the type or sensitivity of the detection reagent used, or the blot X-ray

exposure time. Please note that this guideline is intended as a starting point to develop the final antibody

concentration for the desired performance.

* Tris- or phosphate-buffered saline solutions, supplemented with 0.1% Tween®20 surfactant

When calculating the amount of antibody required for immunodetection, three components are critical for

successful detection of the protein and a good quality blot (low background, high signal):

• Type of sample and concentration loaded on the gel

• Primary and secondary antibody concentration

• Type and sensitivity of the detection reagent

All of the antibodies in the following list were tested using Luminata™ Forte chemiluminescence detection reagent.

For the SNAP i.d.®2.0 system, the antibody concentration is higher than in standard immunodetection, but in less

volume.

Blot Blocking

• The SNAP i.d.®2.0 system is compatible with most commonly used blocking agents including non-fat/low fat dry

milk, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and casein. Many other commercially available blockers are also compatible

(refer to Table 5).

• In order to ensure optimal flow through the blot holder, it is essential that blocking solutions be completely

solubilized and free of all particulate matter. In some cases, it may be necessary to reduce the concentration of

the blocking agent to achieve the required flow.

• The use of non-fat/low fat dry milk at concentrations higher than 0.5% is not recommended.

• Blocking agents, should be prepared in tris- or phosphate-buffered saline solution containing 0.1% Tween®20

surfactant, to reduce surface tension and ensure even distribution of blocking agent across the blot holder

surface.

• To ensure even distribution of the antibody in the incubation step, dilute the antibody in blocking solution that

contains Tween®20 surfactant.

How to Use the SNAP i.d.®2.0 System

System Setup

1. Place the SNAP i.d.®2.0 base on a level bench top.

2. Attach the vacuum tubing to the back of the system by pushing the coupling insert on the end of the tubing

into the quick disconnect fitting at the back of the system base until it clicks.

Push tab up to

insert or release

coupling To vacuum

NOTE: To disconnect the tubing, push the tab below the tubing connector up with the index finger and pull

tubing out.

3. Connect the other end of the tubing to a vacuum source. Use a one-liter vacuum flask as a trap and a

Millex®-FA50 filter (cat. no. SLFA05010) to protect the vacuum source from contamination, as shown below.

2.0 System

protection filter

NOTE: Any vacuum source that can deliver 410 millibar (12 inHg) and 34 L/min is sufficient. If the vacuum

source operates at higher than 410 millibar, the SNAP i.d.®2.0 system will automatically regulate the vacuum

pressure.

If the vacuum source is insufficient, the flow rate through the system may be inconsistent, resulting in longer

processing times and/or poor antibody recovery.
