The Miniblotter™ instruments enable you to perform multiple antibody or probe incubations on a single membrane, using microliter volumes of reagent. Typical applications include monoclonal antibody screening on western blots, animal and human serum screening, and DNA probe hybridizations.  Sample processing is streamlined through use of the Washing Manifold, which enables washing of all sample lanes simultaneously. Reactions can be detected by all conventional methods, including enzyme conjugates, chemiluminescence and radiolabels.

For membrane assays including Western, Northern, and Southern Blots and Checker-board Blots Requires microliter volumes, not milliliter volumes Multiple samples analyzed simultaneously No cross-contamination between channels Decrease processing time All results on a single membrane, non need to strip Compatible with all standard electrophoresis systems

Disposable Miniblot Systems for Minigel Processing

The Disposable Miniblot System operates exactly as the Miniblotter 28 unit, but its Top Plate frame (penned ´C-Shell´) holds a disposable cassette. In addition to a test-specific blot, this disposable plastic cassette offers the same sample ports and 28 (enclosed) reaction channels as the Miniblotter 28 Unit. In the Disposable Miniblot System, however, once the assay is completed and the blot has been developed, the disposable cassette is thrown away - minimizing operator contact with potentially harmful reagents.

Cassettes prevent risk of carry-over from one assay to another. Cassettes eliminate possibility of cross-contamination between samples Cassettes safely contain potentially hazardous serum during assay
