Temperature controlled Southern Blot processor & Western Blot processor for automated dispensing, hybridization & washing of strip-based assay
It offers full automation of reagent dispensing, hybridization and washing of strip based assays, used for a range of applications such as screening of infectious diseases, HLA-typing, HPV-testing, etc.
For reliable temperature control the ProfiBlot T48 combines advanced top & bottom heating systems with an integrated reagent pre-heating station, as well as an active cooling system.
Built to improve safety and reliability in the laboratory the ProfiBlot T48 has been designed to meet the IVD-directive 98/79/EC of Europe. It processes the entire assay in a disposable tray within an enclosed environment to minimize human exposure to potentially infectious samples.
The ProfiBlot T48 is easily programmed using the BlotWare PC-software or operated via the integrated keypad. Once programming and downloading with the BlotWare software is completed, the PC can be disconnected from the instrument, and the assays run in stand-alone mode.
Typical assay parameters such as incubation temperature & shake speed, dispense volumes, selection of dispense channels and wash parameters can be fine-tuned to your application needs.
