Trans-blot Turbo System from Bio-Rad

Our research in the lab relies heavily on in vitro biochemical assays, especially routine SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. Transfers using conventional tank and semi-dry Western blotting protocols can be time consuming, and reproducibility is often a problem. Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched the Trans-Blot Turbo transfer system, a rapid Western blotting instrument that allows researchers to efficiently transfer proteins from gel to blot in 3-10 minutes depending on protein size. The Trans-Blot Turbo system accelerates the blotting process, creates reproducible results without sacrificing performance. The system uses pre-packaged Turbo transfer packs that include proprietary blotting paper, buffer, and membrane (nitrocellulose or PVDF), sparing the time and hassle associated with the preparation of typical Western blots.
