2 Mini-Trans-Blot Electrophoretic Transfer Cell

This short 4 cm electrode distance allows generation of

higher driving forces to produce efficient protein transfers.

A second feature of the electrode module is that it is

offset to accommodate a blue cooling unit. The cooling

unit, which is completely contained within the Mini

Trans-Blot cell, absorbs the Joule heat generated during

rapid electrophoretic transfers. The advantages of having

an internal cooling unit include elimination of an expensive

external cooling bath and avoidance of cumbersome

cooling tubing. Other features of the Mini Trans-Blot cell

include gel holder cassette latches for easy handling, color

coordinated cassettes and electrodes to insure proper

orientation of the gel during transfer, and an efficient

design which simplifies insertion and removal of the

cassettes from the electrode assembly. These features

result in an electrophoretic transfer system which is easy

to use and produces excellent blotting results.
