The western blot technique uses gel electrophoresis to separate proteins in a tissue homogenate or extract by molecular weight. The separated proteins on the gel are then transferred to a membrane (usually nitrocellulose or PVDF) which is then incubated with an antibody specific for a target protein. The protein of interest can be visualised using conjugated secondary antibodies and detection reagents.

Since Mike Osterling and I released our latest book, Value Stream Mapping, we've received a lot of questions about which level of mapping--value stream vs. process--people should opt for and why/when. We've also continued to hear people claim that value stream mapping team members should include the front-line staff. Not so.
These are the slides for a webinar delivered on 12-17-2015. The recording is available at:
