The Thermo Scientific Pierce Fast Semi-Dry Blotter is an electrophoresis apparatus for rapid and complete gel-to-membrane protein transfer following SDS-PAGE for PVDF or nitrocellulose Western blotting.

The Pierce Fast Semi-Dry Blotter is a durable and versatile electrophoretic transfer device that is large enough to process four separate protein mini gels at a time. Unlike other blotting systems, this blotter does not require costly consumable plates or sponges. The Fast Semi-Dry Blotter is compatible with traditional semi-dry transfer buffers and protocols, including for nucleic acid methods. The gel blotter provides exceptionally rapid protein transfer (less than 10 minutes) when it is used together with the Pierce Fast Semi-Dry Transfer Buffer (Part No. 35035).

Highlights:

• Efficient protein blotting – evenly and effectively transfers protein from polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes
• Fast electrophoretic transfer – blots protein onto membrane in 7 to 10 minutes when used with the methanol-free Pierce Semi-Dry Transfer Buffer, Part No. 35035
• Sensitive yet economical – provides same transfer efficiency as other semi-dry or wet-transfer units but requires no special or costly consumables
• Robust, high-capacity – large (20 x 20cm) metal plate electrodes provide a uniform electric field to ensure high-quality transfer for up to 4 mini gels at one time
• Versatile – use for transfer from homemade or pre-cast polyacrylamide gels; with the Pierce Semi-Dry Transfer Buffer or conventional buffers; or any membrane type for Western blotting or nucleic acid detection
