Auto Western

Product outline

Auto Western is an automatic instrument to conduct antibody reactions of membrane for western blotting. The antibody reaction process normally requires 5 hours, researchers can save labors and handling mistakes by using Auto Western.  In addition, one can accelerate experimental efficiency extremely by using Auto Western during night time.
Two types of  Auto Western is available, one is  Auto Western Mini  with single reaction chamber, and the other is  Auto Western Multi with 4 reaction chambers.  Auto Western STD is no longer available.

Mechanism

With Auto Western,  manual process for membrane-antibodies reaction  is automated as it is.  It automatically changes solutions  by following order;   blocking, washing (3 times),  primary antibody,  washing (3 times), 2nd antibody, and  the final washing (4 times).  Both types of Auto Western are equipped with 4 programs so that one can select appropriate reaction time. Both systems are designed to minimize the carry over of solutions, so that the sensitivity is comparable with manual process.

Features

1. Automated from blocking to 2nd antibody reactions

2. No special reaction chamber or reagents are required

3. Primary antibody can be recovered for second use.

4. Easy maintenance by Auto wash mechanism

5. High reproducibility

6. Easy operation

7. Can be used as a seesaw type shaker.

Q&A

Q:　Program customize possible？

Yes. Fee-based service.

Q:　Multi-reactions using different primary antibodies possible ？

Yes, you can do so using  Auto Western Multi as many as 4 different antibody sets.  For Auto Western Minn only one set of antibodies can be used.
