Rocker II

Our lab performs Western Blots on a daily basis, and we have rockers in the lab and in our cold room. Having a reliable rocker on which to incubate membranes is key to consistent Western Blots, and this particular model has proven to be the best. For that reason, we have several of them.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Western Blot Incubations

Starting Material

Western Blot Membranes

Protocol Overview

We use a medium rocking speed and a small rocking angle for our incubations. Whether in the cold room or at room temperature, it works great.

Tips

Increase the speed before increasing the angle, or risk things falling off.

Results Summary

Our Western Blots are consistent in quality. In the long process of blotting, this particular variable is completely locked in so that we never have to worry about it.

Features Summary

Adjustable angle and rotation speed

Additional Notes

Can handle a good deal of weight without becoming shaky.
