Far-eastern_blot
The far-eastern blot, or far-eastern blotting, is a technique for the analysis of lipids separated by high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). When executing the technique, lipids are transferred from HPTLC plates to a PVDF membrane for further analysis, for example by enzymatic or ligand binding assays[1] and mass spectrometry.[2] It was developed in 1994 by Taki and colleagues[1] at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Japan.
