During the transfer
TE70XP and the TE77XP
A red LED will appear in the lower right corner
of the Display when voltage is applied to the
transfer stack.
Both the Time and the Current can be changed
as the transfer progresses. Select mA or time
using the DISPLAY MODE button, and the
UP and DOWN to change the value. While the
value is being changed, the LED will blink. After
about 10 seconds the LED will stop flashing and
show the real time run parameters.
Buffer Depletion
One of the more common failure modes for a
Western transfer is buffer depletion. Buffer
depletion leads to changes in pH and overheating,
both of which are detrimental to the transfer.
The TE70XP and the TE77XP instruments
monitor the transfer stack resistance. Large
changes in this resistance indicate the depletion
of the buffer system. The instrument can stop
a transfer before these changes lead to further
problems, like burning of the transfer stack.
If this condition happens, the error message
“dry” will be on the display. The instrument has
stopped the transfer. If desired, the cover can be
removed, and buffer can be added to the transfer
stack. Replace cover, and press any key (except
Power ON/OFF) to continue.
For future transfers, add more layers of buffer
soaked blot paper.
