FlexiWash FW400 - Cellagen Technology

Introduction

The FlexiWash FW400 Automatic Membrane/Gel Wash Station is designed for automated Western blot membrane wash and incubation process. After proteins are transferred onto a membrane, the membrane is loaded onto FlexiWash for automated blocking, incubation, and wash cycles. The user only needs to prepare required reagents, initiate a blotting program and let the FW400 do the rests. With the unique liquid-handling design, the FW400 supports four wash/incubation processes simultaneously, each of which can be independently programmed and fully automated for speci c applications.

FW400 can also be used in protein or DNA gel staining and destaining, or any other applications that involve repetitive liquid handling and incubation cycles.

Advantages

Saving Time and Cost

Load-and-go automated membrane wash and incubation process.
Reduce hands-on operation time to several minutes. No more Western blot babysitting.
Automatically recover precious reagents (i.e. primary antibodies) for repeat use.

FlexiWash reduces hands-on time from 40 min to 5 min.

Improving Western Blot Process

Better reproducibility: variations on time and volume control are eliminated to ensure consistency.
Systematic protocol optimization: side-by-side comparing four Western conditions with different antibody dilutions, incubation time, or buffer contents.

Western results of CDK4 (33 kD) using FlexiWash FW400. (Sample: Hela cell lysate).

Highly Flexible

User-friendly interface: large LCD touch screen to display machine status and to select or modify programs.
One program contains up to 7 wash/incubation steps.
Each step is programed to control source and volume of reagent to be used, incubation time, and repeat Cycle number.
Three different sized trays to accommodate different gel and membrane sizes.
