For fast and gentle electro-transfer of proteins in Western blots. The BlueBlot semi-dry blotter forms a homogeneous electrical field that guarantees fast and efficient transfer of proteins from gel to membrane. As associated with semi-dry blotting compared to tank blotting, less heat is generated for gentle protein transfer. It is also fast and requires less buffer. By applying the Xpress Blotting Buffer (cat. no. 42662), semi-dry transfer of high- and low-molecular weight proteins is performed quickly and efficiently within 15 minutes. Moreover, all common continuous and discontinuous buffer systems can be applied without any limitations. The anode is made from platinum-covered steel net, and the cathode is made from a stainless-steel plate. The spring-mounted anode allows blotting of thicker gels and gel stacks. To avoid air bubbles within the blotting system the cathode carries drill holes to transport gas generated by the electrochemical blotting process from inside to outside. The electrodes are built into a stable acrylic housing that is resistant to 10% ethanol and easy to clean. The long-lasting electrodes can be dismounted and cleaned separately. The BlueBlot semi-dry blotter has a blotting area of 11 cm x 11 cm. The electrode sets BB-E11 (11 cm x 11 cm) and BB-E17 (17 cm x 17 cm) are obtainable separately and fit into the same base unit. With the 17 cm x 17 cm electrode set, up to 8 mini gels can be blotted simultaneously.
