Definition of Blots
1. Verb. (third-person singular of blot) ¹
Western blot: A technique in molecular biology that is used to separate and identify particular proteins. Verb (used without object), blotted, blotting. To make a blot; spread ink, dye, etc., in a stain: The more slowly I write, the more this pen blots. To become blotted or stained: This paper blots too easily. What does blots mean? Third-person singular simple present indicative form of blot. A blot on the escutcheon A stain or mark against one's reputation or that of one's family. An escutcheon was a heraldic shield that bore a family's coat of arms, and thus serves as a metaphor for one's honor. I was at the top of my class in college, but that narcotics charge will be.

Medical Definition of Blots
1. Refers to a number of similar techniques that facilitate the analysis of biological molecules. Initially, mixtures of proteins or DNA or RNA fragments are separated by electrophoresis through a polymeric gel (most commonly agarose or polyacrylamide). The separated components are then transferred to a membrane where they are immobilised and can be analysed and visualised by a variety of techniques, including antibody binding and DNA hyrbridisation. Some of the various types of blots are briefly described below. Southern blot - The gel is a DNA electrophoresis system and the molecules transferred are DNA molecules. Northern blot - Similar to the Southern blot, but used to analyse RNA. Western blot - The molecules analysed in a Western blot are proteins, separated by gel electrophoresis, then identified by reacting them with an antibody. Southwestern blot - This is a variant of the Southern blot used to find protein molecules that stick to DNA molecules. Dot blot. DNA, RNA, or protein are dotted directly onto the membrane support, so that they form discrete spots.(14 Nov 1997)

A slotting fee, slotting allowance, pay-to-stay, or fixed trade spending is a fee charged to produce companies or manufacturers by supermarket distributors (retailers) in order to have their product placed on their shelves. The fee varies greatly depending on the product, manufacturer, and market conditions. Slotting fee definition is - a fee charged by a vendor in exchange for carrying a manufacturer's product —called also slotting allowance. A slotting fee is a form of. The term 'slotting fee' describes a variety of fees retailers charge their suppliers. Generally, suppliers pay these fees under an agreement that guarantees the supplier shelf space for a particular period of time.

blot
noun A nitrocellulose or nylon membrane bearing a biomolecule of interest—e.g., DNA, RNA or protein—transferred to the membrane from an electrophoretic gel by either osmosis or vacuum; after transferring the molecule of interest, the membrane is bathed in a solution containing a 'mirror-image' of the molecule already on the membrane, producing a hybridisation.verb To perform any of a number of similar techniques used to analyse biologic molecules. Mixtures of biomolecule—DNA, RNA or protein—fragments are separated by electrophoresis through a polymeric (agarose or polyacrylamide) gel; the separated components are then transferred to a membrane where they are immobilised, analysed and visualised by various techniques including antibody binding and DNA hybridisation.
Southern blot
A technique for identifying the presence or absence of a segment of DNA in a sample; the procedure begins by partial enzymatic digestion of nucleic acids, cutting the DNA at specific sites by any of a number of restriction endonucleases, each of which recognises and cuts at a 5- or 6-nucleotide sequence. For instance, HindIII, from H influenzae, cuts DNA at all sites bearing the nucleotide sequence A/AGCTT at the mirror image sites on the 2 DNA chains between the 2 adenines A/A, resulting in a mixture of DNA fragments of varying lengths measuring up to 30 kD, which is then electrophoresed in an agarose gel and transferred to a membrane. Because the DNA on the membrane is single stranded, it has a high affinity for its complementary strand. The final step in the blot is to radioactively 'tag' the complementary DNA (Southern blot, after Dr E. Southern), RNA (Northern blot), protein (Western blot), DNA-protein hybridisation (Southwestern blot), and RNA-protein hybridisation (Northwestern blot).
Dot blot
DNA, RNA, or protein are dotted directly onto a membrane support, and form discrete spots.
