Innovative western blotting solutions
Boost your productivity with western blotting tools designed for efficient high-quality data generation.
- Forward-facing well configuration—for easy sample loading
- Less running buffer required—two separate gel chambers, only use the buffer needed for each gel
- Side-by-side tank configuration—allows for simultaneous visualization of both gels
- Compatible—fits all Invitrogen precast mini gels and SureCast handcast mini gel
- Load up to 26 samples per gel
- Separate chambers make it easy to run just one gel or two, conserving buffer
- Use the same chamber for room temperature wet transfers
- Multiple gel chemistries available
Invitrogen iBlot 3 Western Blot Transfer System
- Rapid transfer of proteins for up to 4 gels in as few as three minutes
- Excellent transfer efficiency
- Built-in cooling provides consistent, reproducible results
- Transfer up to 4 gels in only 10 minutes
- Interchangeable blotting cassettes designed for your throughput
- Multiple transfer stack consumable choices
- Completely automated antibody incubation and wash steps
- Use as little as 3.5 mL of antibody for mini blots or 5 mL for midi blots
- Recover primary and secondary antibodies
- Process 1–4 mini or 1–2 midi blots simultaneously
- Load and go—devices processes solutions using sequential lateral flow technology, with no batteries, shakers, trays, or timers required
- Antibody savings—use up to 80% less primary antibody
- Reproducibility—automated blot processing enables improved blot-to-blot consistency
- Sensitivity—iBind systems offer greater sensitivity than manual methods for many monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies
- Powerful 9.1 megapixel (MP) camera—capture publication-quality images
- Smart Exposure acquisition technology—rapidly determine optimal exposure times
- Simple interface and a package of automated features—capture images quickly with minimal effort
- Multi-application support—image protein gels, nucleic acid gels, chemiluminescent western blots, fluorescent western blots, & more
- Multiplex with up to 4 fluorophores
- 21 CFR Part 11 compliance support
