What is WESTAR SUPERNOVA?
WESTAR SUPERNOVA is Cyanagen’s ultra-sensitive chemiluminescent (ECL) substrate, delivering outstanding signal intensity and stable light output at the low-femtogram detection level.
Direct substitutes include: Amersham™ ECL Select™ (GE Healthcare), SuperSignal™ West Femto (Thermo Scientific™), and Clarity Max™ (Bio-Rad) — with no protocol changes required.
Key Performance Data at a Glance

Why Choose WESTAR SUPERNOVA
Top-Level Performance, No Protocol Changes
WESTAR SUPERNOVA exhibits top-level performance for the most challenging Western blotting applications and can substitute, without any change in protocol, the top performers currently on the market.
Wide Linear Dynamic Range for Quantitative Analysis
With an excellent R² value of 0.992 and a very high signal-to-noise ratio, WESTAR SUPERNOVA enables accurate quantification of protein bands, even for low-abundance proteins detected with highly diluted antibodies.
Extended Signal Duration
WESTAR SUPERNOVA exhibits a significantly longer signal duration than SuperSignal West Femto, remaining detectable in a 120-second exposure up to 11 hours after application — enabling flexible imaging and detection of extremely low-abundance proteins.
High Reproducibility, Fewer Artifacts
When used in independent Western blot experiments, WESTAR SUPERNOVA shows variability below 20%, maximizing reproducibility and increasing the significance of experimental results.
