The Precision Biosystems BlotCycler is an automated Western blot processor that can significantly improve the reproducibility and efficiency of Western blot experiments. It automates all the steps after protein transfer to a membrane, including blocking, incubation of primary and secondary antibodies, and washing. This eliminates the need for manual pipetting and reduces the risk of human error.
The BlotCycler is a versatile system that can be used with a wide variety of Western blot protocols. It can process up to 12 membranes simultaneously (BlotCycler Touch), and it can be programmed to perform different protocols for each membrane. This makes it ideal for multiplex Western blot experiments.
The BlotCycler is a reliable and easy-to-use system. It is compatible with most standard Western blot reagents, and it does not require any special training to operate.
Benefits of using BlotCycler for Western blot automation:
- Increased reproducibility: eliminates the risk of human error in the pipetting steps, which can lead to more reproducible results.
- Improved efficiency: can process multiple membranes simultaneously, which can save time and labor.
- Increased flexibility: BlotCycler can be programmed to perform different protocols for each membrane, which makes it ideal for multiplex Western blot experiments.
- Easy to use : has a user-friendly interface that does not require any special training to operate.
- Automated shaking motion: This helps to mix the reagents and distribute them evenly over the membrane.
- Data logging: This allows you to track the progress of the assay and troubleshoot any problems that may occur.
Either the BlotCycler Touch or Mini is a great option if you are looking for a way to improve the reproducibility and efficiency of your Western blot experiment.
