Can the Thermo Scientific Power Blot Cassette be used for staining and the Power Stain Cassette for blotting?

No. Each cassette can only be used for its intended purpose; Power Blot Cassette for blotting (fast protein transfer) and Power Stain Cassette for protein staining. We have optimized the surface area to yield the best results for each application. The smaller stain cassette works better for staining while the larger blot cassette works better for blotting.
