How really bizarre, looks like it might be a result of google translate as none of the words make sense. Something for a lab I guess, found this baffling sentence:
The kits are available with anti-mouse or anti-rabbit secondary antibodies and are compatible with chemiluminescent and chromogenic detection.

Oh dear. Let me try to explain.
Western blot analysis is in simple terms, a method of identifying specific proteins from a mixture of proteins extracted from cell material. The technique used in separation is called gel electrophoresis. The proteins are transferred to a nitrocellulose or other type of membrane where they are incubated with antibodies that stick to the specific protein. A dye is the added at the end of the process to enhance band visibility. The thickness of the band indicates the amount of the specific protein present.
Western Blot analysis should be called Protein Immunoblot, it's proper name. The "Western Blot" part is really an "in-joke" amongst biochemists, but we all know what it means

Seems I need to explain the "in-joke". Southern Blot Analysis was invented by a chap called Sir Edwin Southern while he was working at Edinburgh University. It was a method of DNA analysis.
RNA analysis was developed by George Stark at Stanford University and was correspondingly called Northern Blot Analysis.
This technique was called Western Blot Analysis as it relied on similar principles.
We Biochemists are a sad lot aren't we?
