Automated Blot Analysis

Blotting is a multi-step process that requires careful handling of gels and membranes, repetitive pipetting, reagent washes, and multiple incubation periods. The manual process is not only laborious, but also risks introducing procedural variations from fluid delivery, washing, and timing. Automated blot processors, which contain motorized components, are programmable to perform the tasks of immunoblotting, such as incubation with antibodies, blocking, and exchanging fluid reagents. Device users can expect precise and reproducible results while saving time and effort to focus on other experiments.
