b'Bandmate Automated Western Blot Processor The Invitrogen Bandmate Automated Western Blot Processor is a programmable blot rocking system that automates the tedious hands-on blocking, washing, and antibody incubation steps of western blot processing. Minimal effort is required to set up the Bandmate device to process up to 2 midi blots or 4 mini blots using your current optimized reagents and protocols for blot processing, freeing up time for other important tasks.Features: Load-and-go setupprepare block, wash, and antibody solutions, load into the machine, select a program, and walk away Works with traditional western blotting protocolsno need to adapt from current protocols and no specialized reagents required (Figure 17); program the timing of steps based on preference or utilize preprogrammed options Antibody recoverycollection tubes can recover antibody for reuse in future experiments if desiredFigure 17. Comparison of mini blots processed with the Bandmate Automated Western Blot Processor vs. manual processing (probing and washing steps performed in a tray and on a shaker platform). The blots processed with the Bandmate device show comparable or higher intensity levels across multiple probed targets compared to the blots processed with a manual processing procedure.Learn more and see the video at thermofisher.com/bandmate32'
