iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System

  • Fast— protein transfer in 7 minutes or less
  • High quality transfer— efficient transfers without bubbles or distortions
  • Convenient—Self contained unit without the need for additional buffer or external power supply
  • Reproducible—reduces blot preparation and running variability

Self-Contained Unit for Faster, More Convenient Transfers

The iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System efficiently and reliably blots proteins from polyacrylamide gels in 7 minutes or less without the need for additional buffers or an external power supply. A self-contained unit, the iBlot® device uses disposable blotting stacks with integrated nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes (Figure 1), offering the convenience of a bufferless, plug-and-play system.

High Transfer Efficiency

In addition to ease and convenience, the iBlot® system offers high-efficiency protein transfers (Figure 2) for high downstream detection sensitivity—in many cases, higher than wet and semi-dry transfer methods. In the end, you’ll achieve more accurate detection using less sample.

Fits your gel size

The iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System is designed to work with multiple polyacrylamide gel sizes, including the midi size, fitting Novex® Midi Gels (8 x 13 cm), E-PAGE™ 48 and 96 gels (13.5 x 10.8 cm), and mini gels (8 x 8 cm).
