Great purchase for labs running western blots on a daily basis
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area: Protein transfer from gel to membrane for analyzing its expression

"Running gel and transferring proteins to membrane usually take 2-3 hours of time which is lengthy process in general. This machine by Bio-Rad reduces the transfer time to less than an hour. I used the machine a few times and have great result. Since the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ Transfer System is quite pricy our lab wanted to test before buying it, so we asked Bio-Rad for a demo and they sent one over all that was required was reagents & premade gel. In a week I tested the system with help of an agent at Bio-Rad, and after getting results which was similar to our traditional method we bought the machine."

Highly reproducible results in short time
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Quantification of protein expression in cell and tissue samples

"Transfer timing is less but the quality of transfer is very high. Using this equipment we can transfer even very small and high molecular weight proteins in a short span of time."

Great and easy equipment to use!
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Immunoblotting for target proteins of interest

"The product is easy to use. If the parts were longer lasting, that would make this a crowd favorite. The sandwich cassette hinges break easily, but other than that it is easy to use. Those cassettes could be sold for cheaper considering how often one needs to buy them."

Must for my western blotting experiments.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Western blotting

"I have used several instruments for protein transfer in western blotting experiments but I can assure that the system from Bio-Rad is the best in the scientific market. Although there are several transfer apparatuses which can do the transfer in few minutes, I personally feel this wet transfer apparatus provides much better results for my proteins of interest and is very convenient and easy to use and setup."

A must-have for any Western blot!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Western blotting

"I LOVE this piece of equipment. It has cut down the amount of time needing to transfer a gel onto a membrane. It is super easy, user friendly, and highly convenient. All without the significant loss of protein. It has saved so much time and money that can used on other experiments. I go into full-on sales pitch mode when showing other labs on the way we do transfers now!"

  • Application Area:Protein separation and WB

"Mini Trans–Blot® Electrophoretic Transfer Cell is a fast and easy to assemble electrophoresis device. I can run many samples and gels in one day with relatively good separation. It has a problem of sticking some times but with better handling this would be solved."
