Disassembling the
iBlot

Gel Transfer
Device
To obtain good transfer and detection results, disassemble the device and stacks
within 30 minutes of ending the blotting procedure.
1.
Open the lid of the iBlot
®
Device.
2.
Remove the iBlot
®
E-PAGE
™
Tab (used for blotting E-PAGE
™
gels only).
Rinse the tab with deionized water and store in a dry place for future use.
Do not discard the iBlot
®
E-PAGE

Tab
.
3.
Discard the iBlot
®
Disposable Sponge and iBlot
®
Cathode Stack, Top.
4.
Carefully remove and discard the gel and filter paper (if used) as shown
below. Remove the transfer membrane from the stack and proceed with the
blocking procedure or stain the membrane (see next page for details).
Note:
If you are using PVDF membranes, place the membrane immediately
into water, as PVDF membranes dry quickly. If the PVDF membrane is
dried, re-wet the membrane with methanol and rinse with deionized water a
few times before use.
Transfer the membrane to your blocking or staining
solution only after you are sure that is completely wet, because reactivating
after the membrane is exposed to the blocking solution may be problematic.
5.
Discard the iBlot
®
Anode stack, Bottom.
6.
At this point, the iBlot
®
Gel Transfer Device is ready for another run (no
cooling period is required). If you are not using the device, turn off the
power switch located on the back of the iBlot
®
Gel Transfer Device.
