Invitrogen iBlot 3 Dry Western Blot Transfer System for Rapid Protein Transfer

The Invitrogen iBlot 3 Western Blot Transfer Device is an advanced dry transfer system designed to perform western blot protein transfer efficiently in as little as 3 minutes. Unlike conventional wet transfer methods, this device operates without liquid buffers, using specialized consumable iBlot 3 Transfer Stacks embedded with ion reservoirs to facilitate rapid and consistent protein migration.

Key technical features include:

• Dry transfer mode compatible with mini and midi-sized Bis-Tris, Tricine, Tris-Acetate, and Tris-Glycine gels
• Supports both nitrocellulose and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes for versatile molecular diagnostics workflows
• Enables simultaneous transfer of up to 2 midi or 4 mini gels, enhancing throughput for bioprocessing and biotechnology labs
• Eliminates oxygen generation from water electrolysis, reducing blot distortion and improving transfer reproducibility—critical in molecular biology and synthetic biology research
• Compact footprint (12x17x8 inches) and moderate weight (~18 lbs) suitable for standard laboratory benchtops
• Operates on universal electrical inputs (100–240V, 50/60Hz, 6.3A), facilitating global laboratory integration

The iBlot 3 system is widely adopted among researchers conducting western blotting for protein detection, essential in molecular cloning workflows, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and biomedical engineering applications. Its rapid processing capability provides researchers with accelerated turnaround times in protein expression analysis and biomolecular characterization.

This equipment is backed by a standard manufacturer warranty and undergoes rigorous quality assurance to ensure reliable performance in clinical diagnostics and cell biology laboratories. The device’s streamlined setup and digital control interface make it a staple instrument for laboratories requiring consistent, rapid protein transfer and sensitive blotting analysis in biotechnology research fields.
