Designed to provide a safe and easy to operate system, for the transfer of proteins and nucleic acids from a gel matrix onto a suitable transfer membrane. Two sizes of units can be used to blot up to four gels, of either 10 x 10 cm, 10 x 20 cm or 20 x 20 cm. The user-replaceable electrode cassettes consist of densely coiled platinum wire which results in the generation of a very uniform electric field. The electrode separation is calculated for optimum transfer.

The units have a water cooled base and a stirring bar can be placed under the compression cassettes to assist in temperature control. The compression cassettes can be locked to minimise gel movement during their insertion into the tank. An open square grid design for the cassettes provides a maximum area for transfer and is strong enough to maintain a firm contact between the gel and the transfer membrane. If only small gels are to be blotted an optional buffer saver block is available for the EB20 unit.
