Trans-Blot SD Semi-Dry Transfer Cell

Manufacturer:

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA

Acquisition Date:

2007

Properties:

Using a platinum-coated titanium plate as the anode and a stainless-steel plate as the cathode the Trans-Blot SD semi-dry transfer cell allows transfers in a horizontal configuration without a buffer tank or gel cassettes.

Gel capacity:                         

  • 3 PROTEAN II gel sandwiches
  • 4 Mini-PROTEAN gels side by side
  • 4 Ready Gel precast gels side by side
  • 3 Criterion gels side by side
Predominant Use:

Protein Blotting:

  • PVDF membrane (very high protein binding, extremely low backgrounds,  high mechanical strength, chemical resistance)
  • Nitrocellulose membrane (high protein binding, low background, no methanol pre-wetting requirement)
