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 assay 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 fragile 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 sealing gaskets are present, fully seated in their channels, and remain pliable to ensure a leak-free seal between the independent wells.
• Cosmetic Status: Good used condition. The heavy-duty clear acrylic blocks are structurally sound and free of cracks or chips. As expected with used acrylic labware, there is light cosmetic scuffing, minor surface scratches, and some dried buffer residue from standard laboratory washing.
• Important Disclosure: There is a previous laboratory owner's name ("BONIFACINO") written in black permanent marker on the front edge of the acrylic base, which does not affect the unit's functionality.
