BlotCycler Automated Western Blot Processor
-Obtain blot-to-blot consistency
-Improve productivity
-Use existing protocols and reagents
How BlotCycler works:
BlotCycler is a compact bench-top device that automates processing of 1 to 24 western blots simultaneously. Blots are placed in specialized trays - choose from delta, mini, or midi sizes. Add primary and secondary antibodies, and washing buffers to the BlotCycler tank, and you’re ready to go!
Operation is a snap: all protocol steps are easily programmable using the touch screen; blocking time (from 10 minutes to 48 hours), washing steps, addition of antibodies, and incubation time. Each step is performed precisely, from the timing to the management of solutions and buffers. The membranes are agitated efficiently and consistently, buffers are thoroughly drained, and antibody is automatically added.
During the assay, primary antibodies are collected and saved for reuse. Once the blots are removed, a cleaning cycle prepares the system for the next run. BlotCycler works with your established protocols, uses standard reagents, requires only about 16” x 16” of bench space and works with standard electrical power. It’s built in the USA using patented technology.
