The Hoefer TE70XP and TE77XP Semi-Dry Transfer Units offer rapid and efficient electrotransfer of proteins from polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose or PVDF membranes. Featuring a unique built-in intelligent power supply, these units automatically monitor and stop the transfer to prevent stack overheating — ensuring consistent, damage-free results every time.
The compact, low-buffer design supports high-throughput transfers with minimal reagent use and setup time. The TE70XP supports up to four mini gels, while the larger TE77XP handles as many as twelve mini gels in a stacked format.
Features & Benefits:
- Intelligent built-in power supply: Automatically halts transfer before overheating occurs, protecting samples and unit components.
- Minimal current requirement: Reduces heat generation and prevents stack drying or transfer failure.
- Durable, contamination-free electrodes: Iridium oxide and stainless steel provide consistent results with long life.
- Vented electrode design: Prevents bubble formation which could interfere with transfer quality.
- Low buffer volume: Minimizes reagent use and shortens prep time.
