1. Complete protein transfer in 7 minutes or less.
2. High detection sensitivity and uniform transfer.
3. The reliability and reproducibility of the blots are increased.
4. Flexible gel size formats and membrane types.
5. A simple, user-friendly system.
6. Option to create a new custom program.
7. Built-in tutorials and application notes.
8. The high-quality transport stack is more compact than before.
9. Protein transfer is fast and high quality.
10. For dry electrophoresis of proteins from mini-, midi- and E-PAGE™ gels, perform Western detection on nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes.
11. Provide high-quality transmission, convenience, and speed, producing crisp, clear bands that remain sharp and straight with excellent transmission efficiency.
12. Allow users to create custom programs.
13. With the iBlot 2 system, there is no need to prepare buffers, pretreat gels, or clean up after blotting.
14. Compared to traditional Western transfer techniques, the total prep and run time per blot is typically less than 10 minutes, a substantial time saving.
15. The buffer ion reservoir is incorporated into the gel matrix (transfer stack) instead of the buffer tank or soaked paper.
16. The high density of ions in the gel matrix enables fast protein transfer.
17. During the blotting process, the copper anode does not generate oxygen as a result of water electrolysis, reducing blotting distortion (traditional protein transfer techniques, including wet, semi-wet and semi-dry, use inert electrodes to generate oxygen).
18. The distance between electrodes is shortened, the electric field strength is high, and the current is large, which shortens the transmission time.
19. Trapped air bubbles, often in sandwich layers of hand-prepared blots, are easily avoided due to the defoaming design that promotes uniform and complete transfer.
