Bio-Rad Mini-PROTEAN II Multiscreen Immunoblotting Apparatus 170-4017

The Bio-Rad Mini-PROTEAN II Multiscreen Apparatus is a highly specialized immunoblotting tool designed to rapidly accelerate antibody screening and optimization. This dual-block system allows researchers to securely clamp one or two standard mini-format Western blot membranes and isolate up to 20 independent fluid channels per membrane. By isolating these channels, users can probe a single intact membrane with 20 different primary or secondary antibodies simultaneously, eliminating the tedious and error-prone process of cutting membranes into individual strips. It is an indispensable asset for hybridoma labs, proteomics core facilities, and researchers performing extensive antibody validations.

Condition Notes

• Condition: Used / Inspected & Good Condition.
• Functional Status: Visually inspected for integrity. The clamping thumbscrews and spring mechanisms operate smoothly to provide even pressure. The integrated silicone/rubber sealing gaskets are present, fully seated, and remain pliable to ensure a leak-free seal between the independent channels.
• Cosmetic Status: Good used condition. The heavy-duty clear acrylic blocks are structurally sound and free of cracks. As expected with used acrylic labware, there is light cosmetic scuffing, minor surface scratches, and some dried buffer residue/water spots from standard laboratory washing.
