Electro Transfer Mini Gel System (BIO 08-01)

The most common method of transfer in western blotting is electrophoretic transfer, where an electric field is used to elute proteins from gels and transfer them to membranes. During this process, the membrane and gel are placed together, with filter paper between two electrodes. Voltage is applied between the electrodes and proteins migrate to the membrane following the current that is generated by the applied voltage across the electrodes.
