Time Saving Western Blot Processor

This review is for the GOBlot™ Western Blot Processor,  which has been discontinued and replaced by the GO-Blot-V2 Western Blot Processor.

We have so far bought one GOblot western processor and have used it with various antibodies, such as anti actin, GFP, Pgk1, and custom-made antibodies. The processor is very easy to set up, and it very reliably executes any of the chosen programs. The in-built programs provide sufficient choices for optimal time set-up for antibody incubation. We found that the western results showed nice signals with a low background. In fact, the background sometimes was even better as compared to westerns conducted the conventional way. We then proceeded to having two western membranes processed simultaneously, back-to-back, i.e. the protein sides of the membranes were facing outwards. Even though it appeared that the blocking solution barely covered the membranes, the western results were as good as when processing them individually! So far we have run the GOblot for about 50 times, and it is still working as if it was new. The processor is of satisfactory quality, and we would buy this product again without any hesitation.
