Description
Its Purpose:
The Invitrogen iBlot 2 Gel Transfer Device is used for the transfer of proteins or nucleic acids from polyacrylamide gels to a nitrocellulose or PVDF membrane for Western blotting or Southern blotting applications. The purpose of this device is to provide a more efficient and convenient way to transfer the separated molecules from the gel onto the membrane, while reducing the risk of damage or loss during the transfer process.
Acme’s Summary:
This device uses a dry transfer system, eliminating the need for buffers and reducing the transfer time to as little as 7 minutes. The iBlot 2 Gel Transfer Device is designed for use with the iBlot 2 Transfer Stacks, which are pre-cut and pre-assembled transfer stacks that provide consistent transfer efficiency and reliability. Overall, the iBlot 2 Gel Transfer Device is an important tool for protein and nucleic acid research, enabling researchers to efficiently transfer and analyze their samples.
