Microwestern Array Core Facility

Welcome and thanks for visiting the Microwestern Array Core Facility (MWAC) site.  MWAC harnesses the scalability and precision of newly developed MWA technology and is designed to provide a versatile protein research platform for investigators. 

The MWA method is designed to provide similar information as traditional western blots but, because of the greatly reduced sample and antibody requirements, the approach allows for the targeted investigation of 10s to 1000s of pre-selected protein targets from 10s to 100s of biological samples (i.e. cultured cells and tissues). 

Current and past studies on the MWA platform comprise diverse fields including cancer biology, cardiology, and immunology.  Moreover, successfully run sample types have included human and mouse cell lines, human tissue, mouse tissue, and whole drosophila lysates.
