The western blot test price test is a diagnostic tool used to confirm the presence of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is generally performed after an initial positive result from an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) screen. The ELISA test separates the proteins of the virus using gel electrophoresis, but the western blot is more specific and identifies antibodies to HIV.

Laboratory interpretation of a positive result must be combined with other clinical information, including patient history (including high-risk behavior or exposure to HIV), physical examination findings and other serologic data. It is recommended that laboratories that routinely report a negative result for a patient with a previous reactive screen (ELISA or other serologic method) use an additional supplemental western blot to verify the result (11, 12).
The Pierce Fast Western Blot Kit is a reagent-based system that uses optimized reagents for blocking, antibody dilution and detection of a Western blot on PVDF membranes with Pierce ECL substrate. This easy-to-use system eliminates the need for a dedicated instrument and costly disposable blotting trays that limit the number of blots processed at one time.
