The Hoefer TE22 Mighty Small Transfer Tank offers rapid, efficient transfer of proteins and nucleic acids from small format gels to nylon, nitrocellulose, or PVDF membranes. With capacity for up to four 9 × 10 cm gels and built-in temperature control features, the TE22 ensures uniform, distortion-free blotting — even during fast, high-efficiency runs.
Its smart design includes color-coded components for intuitive setup and a ceramic heat exchanger to maintain stable conditions. Ideal for labs performing western, southern, or northern blotting on small gels.
Features & Benefits:
- Fast and efficient transfers: Process up to four small gels in under one hour.
- Uniform electric field: Ensures consistent, even transfer across all gels.
- Color-coded cassettes: Simplify assembly and loading while ensuring correct orientation every time.
- Optimized pressure application: Tank design distributes equal pressure across the gel stack to minimize distortion.
- Built-in ceramic heat exchanger: Maintains optimal transfer temperatures when connected to a cooling water bath.
- Alumina-coated cooling channel: Provides passive temperature control with no more than 5°C increase during typical runs.
