Product Description
Antibody is often the most expensive reagent in a Western blot, and MultiBox™ boxes help you use less of it by matching each compartment closely to common blot sizes. Because the compartments are sized to the membrane, more blots fit on a single shaker or rocker at once, and a typical mini blot needs only about 4 mL of solution.
This listing is for MTC Bio catalog number B1204, the MultiBox™ Western Blot Incubation Box. Each multi-compartment box has square 90° corners and a uniformly flat floor, so reagent spreads evenly with no wasted volume pooling in rounded edges. A hinged lid limits evaporation during long blocking, primary and secondary antibody incubations, and the range of 2, 4 and 6 compartment formats covers full minis, half-minis, strips and cut-down large-format gels. Order it from LIGHT LABS alongside the other MTC Bio supplies your lab uses every day.
Key Features
- Blot-Matched Compartments – Each compartment is sized to a common membrane format, keeping antibody and reagent volumes to a minimum.
- Flat Floor and 90° Corners – A uniformly flat bottom and square corners prevent reagent from collecting where the membrane cannot use it.
- Hinged Lid – Keeps the box closed during incubation to minimize evaporation.
- Multiple Blots per Box – 2, 4 or 6 separate compartments let you run several blots or antibodies side by side on one rocker.
- Fits Halves, Wholes, Strips and Minis – Formats cover mini blots, half-mini protein gels and cut-up large gels.
