The Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System is a high-performance western blotting transfer system designed to provide rapid transfers with high efficiency. The system enables blot transfer of protein in as little as 3 minutes without sacrificing performance when compared with traditional tank protein blotting. The Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer Packs include an optimized buffer, membrane, and filter paper combination that provides superior blot transfers when paired with the Trans-Blot Turbo blotting apparatus. Protein blotting consumables are available in a ready-to-use, pre-packaged stack or in bulk quantities that require assembly.

Note: The Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System is for research use only, not intended for diagnostic purposes

Features and Benefits of the Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System

  • Rapid blot transfer 3 min transfers of mini or midi gels
  • High throughput — can transfer 1–4 mini or 1–2 midi gels in a single run
  • Greater transfer efficiencyhigher transfer efficiency than other protein blotting methods
  • Flexible design — allows the user to customize transfer conditions and is compatible with traditional semi-dry consumables
  • Environmentally friendly — environmentally safe consumables eliminate disposal cost
  • Recommended for Stain-Free Western Blotting — permits a streamlined workflow
