BlotCycler automated Western blot processing system BlotCycler automated Western blot processing system

Key Features:

  • Complete automation of all steps of membrane processing. Automatically dispenses and aspirates reagents from multiple trays simultaneously.
  • Designed for minigels (10 cm x 8 cm) or midigels (10 cm x15 cm).
  • Compact. Uses less than 12" of lab bench.
  • Each membrane can be treated with its own specific primary and secondary antibodies, i.e. six different primary and six different secondary antibodies can be used for simultaneous processing of membranes.
  • Can be used almost anywhere. Only requires an electrical outlet.
  • No vacuum, pressurized air or gas, or additional pumps required.
  • Can recover primary antibodies.
  • Easy programming from the front panel. Program up to 100 protocol steps with the easy to use interface.
  • Adjustable parameters for each protocol step including Incubation time from 1 min to 48 hours.
  • Different tray configurations for minigels, midigels and minigel/midigel combinations.
  • Up to 12 blots per run.
  • Audible alarm at the end of the protocol.
  • Cleaning cycle at the end of the protocol washes the tank, the containers for antibodies and the membrane trays. Complete removal of traces of reagents by special shower system that automatically washes the device after each test.
  • Wash buffer remains in the trays to keep the blots or gels wet.


The US-manufactured BlotCycler™ automates Western Blot development by processing the blot through all washing, blocking and incubation steps. Once the system is set-up with the required reagents, and the appropriate assay programmed, the BlotCycler™ will proceed with the assay and alert you at certain critical steps and also when the assay is completed. No special reagents are required. The BlotCycler™ allows you to use the same reagents you currently use as well as automatically saving your primary antibodies. Automation increases productivity and generates blots with higher signal and lower background. You can even set the BlotCycler™ for overnight membrane processing to save even more time.
