Transfer Electrophoresis Unit
function and description
The Hoefer ® TE42 and TE62 transfer units
rapidly transfer proteins, DNA, or RNA from
up to four polyacrylamide or agarose gels onto a
membrane. Gels and membranes are assembled
into a cassette and submerged in a tank filled
with transfer buffer. The electrodes in the tank
are connected to an external power supply.
The TE62 contains a heat exchanger in the
base. Buffer is separated from the coolant by a
heat-conducting alumina plate. The TE42 is not
equipped with a buffer cooling system. If cooling
is required, an immersible heat exchanger can be
ordered separately.
