SuperSignal West Dura Extended Duration Substrate is about 10-fold more sensitive than GE Healthcare ECL Substrate or Thermo Scientific ECL Substrate (Cat. No. 32106). SuperSignal West Dura Extended Duration Substrate is also significantly more sensitive than available chemiluminescent substrates for alkaline phosphatase.

Consider transferring to a different membrane or using a different detection method. We have observed increased sensitivity when using PVDF membranes in place of nitrocellulose. On PVDF membranes, using as little as 1 µg of total rat brain protein, PKC can be detected with alkaline phosphatase-mediated chromogenic detection in some cases using affinity-purified antibodies at a concentration of 0.5 µg/mL. Detection sensitivity can also be increased by using chemiluminescent detection, especially when using a SuperSignal West enhanced chemiluminescence subtrate (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/protein-biology/protein-assays-analysis/western-blotting/detect-proteins-western-blot/western-blot-detection-reagents/detection-technologies-western-blotting/chemiluminescent-western-blot-detection/supersignal-chemiluminescent-substrates.html) such as SuperSignal West Pico PLUS, SuperSignal West Dura, or SuperSignal West Femto. The secondary antibody should be used as recommend by the manufacturer and optimized as needed.
