The blot module

The Hoefer miniVE Blot Module, which can be
ordered separately, performs electrotransfers on
mini-format gels. Each module holds up to two
gels, 8.2 cm wide and up to 10.4 cm long. One
or two modules can be run at the same time.

Assembly

Prior to use, wash the tank and blot module with a
dilute solution of non-abrasive laboratory detergent.
Thoroughly rinse with water and distilled water.

Separate out two of the four strands of gaskets
included with each module.

Open the module by releasing both tabs.

Lay a gasket along the entire groove around three
sides of each cup half.

Avoid stretching or twisting the gasket; the length
should just fit. Gently press into place.

Each gasket fits into the groove
around three sides of each cup half.

Fig 14. Install a gasket into
each cup half.
