The Invitrogen™ XCell II™ Blot Module is a robust and efficient wet transfer module designed for electrophoretic transfer of proteins or nucleic acids from mini gels to membranes. Optimized for use with the XCell SureLock™ Mini-Cell and XCell II™ systems, this module enables Western, Southern, and Northern blotting applications with exceptional reproducibility.
With a maximum blot size of 9 cm × 9 cm and the ability to transfer up to two mini gels per run, this module is ideal for labs requiring high-efficiency transfers in a compact format. Its low buffer requirement (<200 mL) makes it reagent-conserving, while the platinized titanium and stainless steel electrodes ensure a uniform electrical field without the need for clamps or hinged holders.
Key Features and Benefits
- Mini gel wet transfer system for up to two gels per run
- Compatible with Bolt™, NuPAGE™, and Novex™ mini gels
- No clamps or hinged gel holders required—easy assembly and loading
- Tough, corrosion-resistant electrodes for consistent current distribution
- Low buffer consumption (<200 mL) for cost-effective operation
- Designed to fit seamlessly with XCell SureLock™ Mini-Cell systems
Applications
- Western blotting for protein transfer
- Southern blotting for DNA transfer
- Northern blotting for RNA transfer
- Mini gel-to-membrane transfer for analysis and detection workflows
