PHERO-blot 1010-E and PHERO-blot 2020-E blotting tanks are designed primarily for wet electroblotting of proteins, TankSub Electroblotters offer a combination of increased capacity with economy saving features. Both units, Mini 10 x 10cm and Maxi 20 x 20cm, have increased capacity over standard systems with up to five gel blot cassettes utilised at any one time. This is especially useful in high throughput laboratories. A uniform electric field is provided by a high intensity coiled electrode and ensures uniform transfer across the blot surface. The cassette’s open architecture ensures the maximum blot area allows direct transfer of current. Its rigid construction ensures contact between the gel and membrane is retained throughout the blot and an even pressure is maintained. These units are compatible with magnetic stirrers to aid heat dispersal and prevent pH drifts in the buffer due to incomplete buffer mixing. Each system includes a cooling pack to further enhance transfer efficiency by removing excess heat. This also saves on buffer for added economy.

PHERO-mul 1010-E and PHERO-mul 2020-E Semi Dry Blotters offer rapid transfer times for DNA, RNA and protein blotting - typically 15 to 30 minutes. All units can be used for all types of blotting: western, southern and northern via uncomplicated buffer and set up procedures and are compatible with gel thicknesses from 0.25 up to 10mm without the need for additional equipment. Each unit is compatible with their respective PHERO-vert vertical gel system. Semi Dry Blotting has the added benefit of economic transfers due to very low buffer volumes – typically only a few millilitres of buffer are required per transfer. These Semi-Dry Blotters utilise a screw down lid, which secures the blot sandwich and allows complete control of pressure ensuring even transfer. The electrodes, comprising platinum coated anode and stainless steel cathode, will exhibit practically no corrosion and so provide many years of trouble free use. Uniform heat dispersion across the blot sandwich ensures stable transfer times and no heat induced sample loss or transfer distortions. Being translucent, it allows viewing of the blot sandwich to ensure correct positioning and transfer is occurring correctly. Electrode plates are fully separated to prevent arching or damage.
