Automated, hands-free western blot processing with sequential lateral flow technology
The iBind™ Western Device is a self-contained, automated system that streamlines western blot processing—from blocking to antibody incubations and washes—using sequential lateral flow (SLF) technology. This innovative approach ensures the precise, timed release of solutions and antibodies over the membrane, eliminating the need for external power sources, shakers, or trays.
Designed for use with iBind™ Cards and the iBind™ Solution Kit or iBind™ Fluorescent Detection Solution Kit, the device processes one mini-membrane in approximately 2.5 hours. Its glass fiber matrix ensures a uniform flow of reagents, enhancing antigen–antibody interactions for superior signal quality and reproducibility compared to traditional manual methods.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fully Automated Workflow – Performs blocking, primary and secondary antibody incubations, and washes in a single run.
- Sequential Lateral Flow (SLF) Technology – Ensures consistent and timed delivery of reagents to the membrane.
- No Power Required – Operates without external power, shakers, or trays.
- High Reproducibility – Minimizes variability associated with manual processing.
- Versatile Detection – Compatible with fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and chromogenic detection methods.
- Membrane Compatibility – Works with both nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes.
- Compact and Easy to Use – Ideal for small labs and single blot processing.
Applications
- Western blot protein detection with enhanced reproducibility
- Fluorescence, chemiluminescence, or chromogenic immunodetection
- Low-throughput or single-sample workflows
- Research environments requiring minimal equipment footprint
