Versatile Gel CompatibilityDesigned to handle both mini (7 x 8.5 cm) and midi (11 x 8.5 cm) gels, the Trans-Blot Turbo offers flexibility for various experiment sizes. Its capacity allows the simultaneous running of up to 4 mini or 2 midi gels, optimizing laboratory productivity.
FAQ's of BioRad Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System:
Q: How does the Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System accelerate protein and nucleic acid blotting?
A: The system uses a high current (up to 7A) and advanced semi-dry technology, which enables rapid transfer of samples within 3-10 minutes. This efficiency is ideal for Western blot and other blotting applications requiring fast, reliable results.
Q: What gel sizes are compatible with the BioRad Trans-Blot Turbo?
A: It supports mini gels (7 x 8.5 cm) and midi gels (11 x 8.5 cm), allowing users to process up to 4 mini or 2 midi gels per run. This versatility accommodates varying experiment scales within the same instrument.
Q: When should I choose user-defined protocols over preset modes?
A: User-defined protocols are recommended when your transfer conditions vary from standard presets, such as for unique sample types or optimization. Preset modes suit routine transfers, enabling hassle-free operation for commonly used protocols.
Q: Where is the BioRad Trans-Blot Turbo best suited for use?
A: The system is designed for laboratory environments maintained at 15-30C, non-condensing. Its compact size and minimal buffer requirement make it suitable for research institutes, clinical labs, and academic settings across India.
Q: What is the process for transferring samples using this system?
A: Samples are loaded into mini or midi gels, positioned in the transfer cassette, and placed in the system. After selecting the desired protocol through the touchscreen, the system automatically manages transfer conditions to complete the process swiftly and reproducibly.
Q: What are the safety features included in the Trans-Blot Turbo System?
A: The device comes with a lid interlock that prevents operation if the lid is open, and an error alert system to notify users of any operational issues, ensuring safety during runs.
Q: What benefits does the minimal buffer format provide?
A: Using a semi-dry format with minimal buffer reduces reagent consumption, saves costs, and simplifies cleanup, making it a more economical and convenient option for high-throughput laboratories.
