You can use it for analysis of concentration

Explanation:

Example: Let's say if you wanted to see if there was more of protein A or protein B in a sample. If your band on your bot is thin then there may not be a lot of that protein. If the band on the blot is thick you probably have a good amount. If the band for
A is chunkier than your band for B then assuming you did things correctly, you could say according to the data from your blot, there was more A than B in this particular sample.
