Capillary Blotter for gels up to 28 x 26cm

• Permanent wick with optimised capillary action
• Efficient transfer of high and low M.Wt. fragments
• Fast, easy set-up
• DNA transfer in 2 hours or less;
• RNA transfer in 3 hours or less
• Floating lid ensures even pressure without gel compression

These Capillary Blotting systems offer a contained unit for southern and northern blotting. These units incorporate optimised permanent wicks which eliminate the requirement for overlapping wicks, offering greater consistency.
The porous polyethylene platform draws up transfer buffer faster than traditional systems allowing for faster transfer times.
Side by side transfer of multiple gels can be performed in a single set up.
Available in 15 x 26cm and 28 x 26cm formats.

Principle:
Through capillary action, the buffer travels from the reservoir to the absorbent towelling via the porous supports, permanent wick, gel and membrane. This action optimises the transfer of low and high Molecular Weight DNA/RNA from gel to membrane without mechanical damage to even the thinnest of gels.
