Blotting: How It Works and The Different Types | MCAT Content
In this video, we will cover blotting for the MCAT. This includes an overview of the general technique, but more importantly how to interpret blots. From there we will explore the three different blots the MCAT wants you to know including Southern Blots, Northern Blots, and Western Blots.
As always we will round out our discussion of blots with a couple of practice problems so you walk away with an understanding of how to apply what you have learned.

phenomenal work. I went through the entirety of undergrad bio unable to understand blotting and gel electrophoresis (could not, for the life of me, figure it out). turns out what i was lacking was the foundation and linkage this whole time. you explained to me in
U dont realize how much this is seriously helping. the amount of work you put into this to simplify concepts that college professors are literally paid for to teach but dont do well at teaching shows how skilled and passionate you are about teaching students. ur amazing and I hope you realize the great impact ur making
please continue these lab techniques, literally amazing

Glad you are finding the lab technique series helpful! I am currently working on chromatography and mass spec so those will hopefully be done in the next couple of weeks.
It is mind blowing how easy these videos are to help understand topics i thought was so extremely hard. I’m literally binging every single one of your videos. I feel like i could take the MCAT in a week after watching all your videos!
So much helpful, i am a grade 11 student studying biology and that helps me a lot!! Thank you ❤
Your videos are amazing. Thank you so much!
SNOW DROP is genius, thank you. I've been having such a difficult time trying to remember!

ayy me too! we got this
I'm so happy I found your channel. Please continue this series to help others.
Thankyou so much for your videos! I knew regarding snow drop but I really liked how you explained it in terms of transcription and translation like if transcription was blocked then what would we be measuring. Please do make more videos on techniques maybe like the more complex ones possibly like FISH analysis, in situ hybridization and other techniques :)
