No Documents
Fast Western Blot processor for automated washing & incubation of strip-based assays
For optimum throughput it processes up to 48 samples per run and supports a range of Western Blot applications, such as for the confirmation of infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases, as well as for screening of allergies.
The ProfiBlot 48 has been designed to improve safety and reliability in the laboratory and to meet the IVD-directive 98/79/EC for Europe. It processes the entire assay in a disposable tray within an enclosed environment to minimize human exposure to potentially infectious samples.
The ProfiBlot 48 is easily pre-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. Dispense volumes, selection of dispense channels, shaking speed for incubation steps and wash parameters can be arranged in any combination within a protocol, and up to 20 different methods can be stored on-board.
