iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System

"The iBlot system from Invitrogen is time saving. It is a convenient system for transferring your western blot and lets you finish your western blotting in a day-that includes running your gel to visualizing it. My blots always came out clean and its very user friendly. Having said that, it’s a little on the expensive side. Also watch out if you are going for the nitrocellulose membrane. If you are planning on stripping and r- probing go for the PVDF. They are better than the nitrocellulose. Happy Blotting!"

iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System

"I started use iBlot@7-minute blotting system 2 years ago. The blotting system is very useful. Really save a lot time. And very efficiently. Before, we usually transfer a membrane for more than 2 hrs, but now, I can finish in 7 minutes. I never worry about not going home on time!"

"Only buffers purchased from the company will work properly and they don't disclose the compositions of them either. Not all the membranes are compatible."

"The iBlot is a very easy to use system that allows you to blot proteins very quickly.  However, the system requires that you optimize for your protein of interest."

iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System

"This product is easy to use and competitive. We are using this one frequently and it showed reliable data. But the price keeps going up. Even so I would like to continue to use it. Also I would like to find good sources for chemicals which is relatively cheap and has high purity."

iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System

"It is very easy to use and saves a lot of time. You can start your western gel running in the afternoon and finish before end of the day. Very easy to use and apply on different gels from different company. However it does generate some heat."

iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System

"After years of 30-180 minute transfers, the iBlot system is a 7-8 minute breeze. The quality of the blot is as good or better than the old technique, but the speed of transfer makes overnight transfers a thing of the past. Some optimization is recommended, even if you think the default is giving great results, try a couple of the others to confirm."

Review date: 18 Dec 2012

Application Area: Western Blot Transfers
iBlot® 7-Minute Blotting System

"The iBlot system is very easy to use and very fast in comparison to traditional transfer methods. It is user-friendly, quick and works well, because of this I would recommend it. However, the only downside is that components of the transfer such as the copper gel and sponge are not reusable, which feels a little bit wasteful."
