Transfer Electrophoresis Unit
function and description
The Hoefer ™ TE22 Tank Transfer unit rapidly
transfers proteins, DNA, or RNA from up to
four small-format polyacrylamide or agarose gels
onto a membrane. Gels and membranes are held
by a cassette, which is submerged into the trans-
fer tank. Molecules migrate under an electric
field to the membrane, where they are bound.
The transfer buffer temperature can be
controlled by circulating cooled liquid through
the heat exchanger in the base. The buffer is
separated from the coolant by a heat-conducting
alumina plate.
Unpacking

that may have occurred while the unit was in
transit. If any part appears damaged, contact the
carrier immediately. Be sure to keep all packing
material for damage claims or to use should it
become necessary to return the unit.
