FLASHBlot transfer buffer
FLASHBlot transfer buffer

Ready-to-use wet transfer buffer
Designed for faster, more efficient wet protein transfer with increased sensitivity

FLASHBlot is not your average wet transfer buffer.

  • Faster than traditional wet buffers: better results in 20 minutes
  • More sensitive detection for low abundance proteins
  • Better detection of post-translationally modified proteins
  • Better transfer of ALL proteins, including high molecular weight proteins
  • Conveniently suitable for any wet transfer set-up

“ We were pleasantly surprised to see that with FLASHBlot we observed the same transferring levels at 25 min than with the lengthier transfer protocol… including for the 300 kDa protein. This reagent will shorten considerably our experimental time. ”  - Assistant Professor, UCSF
