Hoefer® Semi-Dry Transfer Units

Hoefer® Semi-Dry Transfer Units are efficiently designed to use minimal buffer to transfer proteins from polyacrylamide gels onto membranes (either nitrocellulose or PVDF) in less than an hour. They support as many as two layers of gels being transferred simultaneously. The TE70XP has a 14 x 16 cm maximum transfer area, which can handle up to four mini gels using the stacked format. The TE77X and TE77XP have a 21 x 26 cm transfer area for a capacity of up to 12 mini gels at one time. 

• Included safety circuit breaker—limits voltage and current from the user's power supply, preventing electrical damage to the transfer unit
• Requires minimal current—does not generate the excessive heat that can dry out the transfer stack and halt transfer or damage transfer units 
• Durable iridium oxide and stainless steel electrodes—allow for contamination free, consistent transfer
• Vented electrodes—prevent buildup of bubbles which may impair transfer
• Minimal buffer requirements—reagent cost and preparation time are reduced
• The TE70XP and TE77XP Semi-Dry Transfer Units have an intelligent built-in power supply that prevents the stack from overheating by monitoring the transfer status
