Features of the Power Blotter System include:
Efficient—high transfer efficiency with a broad range of protein sizes compared to conventional semi-dry or wet (tank) transfer methods
Fast—5- to 12-minute transfer when used with Power Blotter Select Transfer Stacks or Power Blotter 1-Step Transfer Buffer
Integrated power supply—seamless operation between control unit and cassette; no need for external power supply
Easy-touch programming—convenient pre-programmed transfer methods or create, save, and run customized transfer methods
Flexible—simultaneous transfer of 1 to 2 mini-size or 1 midi-size gel using the Power Blotter Cassette
Versatile—compatible with Power Blotter Select Transfer Stacks and Pierce 1-Step Transfer Buffer for rapid blotting programs or Towbin transfer buffer for conventional semi-dry transfer methods

The Power Blotter System achieves highly efficient transfer in seven minutes when used with Power Blotter Select Transfer Stacks or ten minutes with Power Blotter 1-Step Transfer Buffer. The instrument is also effective for standard 30- to 60-minute semi-dry transfer protocols based on traditional buffers.
