Automated western blot processing with flexible blot size capacity
The Invitrogen™ iBind™ Flex Western Device is a fully automated, power-free system designed to perform all key western blot processing steps—from blocking to antibody incubations and washes—using sequential lateral flow (SLF) technology.
By delivering solutions and antibodies to the membrane in a precise, timed manner, SLF technology eliminates the need for external power, shakers, or trays while ensuring consistent, reproducible results. The device’s glass fiber matrix enables uniform reagent flow, improving antigen–antibody interactions for superior signal quality.
The iBind™ Flex is uniquely adaptable, offering interchangeable well inserts to process up to one midi blot, two mini blots, or six vertically-cut strip blots in a single run when used with iBind™ Flex Cards and the iBind™ Flex Solution Kit or iBind™ Flex Fluorescent Detection (FD) Solution Kit.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fully Automated Workflow – Performs blocking, antibody incubation, and wash steps without user intervention.
- Sequential Lateral Flow Technology – Timed delivery of reagents for optimal binding efficiency.
- Flexible Blot Formats – Processes one midi blot, two mini blots, or six strips per run.
- Reproducible Results – Minimizes variability compared to manual methods.
- Efficient Antibody Use – Requires less primary antibody than conventional workflows.
- Multiple Detection Compatibility – Works with fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and chromogenic detection protocols.
- Membrane Versatility – Supports both nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes.
- Power-Free Operation – No need for external power sources or additional equipment.
Applications
- Western blot protein detection with various blot sizes
- High-consistency antibody incubation workflows
- Fluorescent, chemiluminescent, and chromogenic immunodetection
- Multiplex western blot workflows in research labs
