The Hoefer TE62 Standard Transfer Tank with Cooling Chamber is a high-capacity blotting system engineered for efficient, even transfers of proteins and nucleic acids from polyacrylamide or agarose gels to nylon, nitrocellulose, or PVDF membranes. With a built-in ceramic heat exchanger and support for up to four full-size cassettes during cooled operation, the TE62 is ideal for temperature-sensitive transfers and high-throughput labs.
Each cassette can accommodate one full-size gel (15 × 21 cm) or up to four mini gels (7 × 10 cm), making it a versatile solution for a wide range of transfer applications.
Features & Benefits:
- Uniform electric field: Delivers consistent and efficient transfer across all gels.
- Color-coded, easy-to-load cassettes: Ensure correct orientation and user-friendly assembly.
- Optimized pressure application: Tank design applies equal pressure across the gel stack, preventing distortion or artifacts.
- Integrated ceramic heat exchanger: Maintains precise buffer temperature when connected to an external cooling water bath.
- Flexible capacity: Transfer up to four large gels or sixteen mini gels at once with active cooling.
