The Cleaver Scientific MiniMix combines the motions of orbital shaking and rocking to produce a gentle, but thorough, 3-D action that is perfect for antibody incubation of western blots and staining gels.
■ The perfect speed and tilt for blotting and gel staining
■ Three-dimensional motion
■ Designed for use with Blot Boxes
The Cleaver Scientific MiniMix combines the motions of orbital shaking and rocking to produce a gentle, but thorough, 3-D action that is perfect for antibody incubation of western blots and staining gels. The pitch and speed of the Cleaver Scientific MiniMix are optimised to generate a tilt angle that is large enough to ensure uniform distribution of solutions, yet small enough to prevent the centre of the blot from drying out.
This has the added benefit of allowing users to work with minimal volumes, thus conserving valuable probes and antibodies. A non-slip rubber mat keeps the boxes in place on the agitating platform, which, along with the housing, is
very easy to clean and decontaminate after use. The MiniMix’s compact and light weight design allows it to be moved around the lab where needed. It is also safe for use in an incubator or cold room for temperature controlled reactions.
Blot Boxes
These gel staining/blotting boxes are available in 4 sizes and are the ideal accessory for incubating blots or staining gels. The two smaller sized boxes are available in packs of ten. The smallest box has dimensions of 9.1 x 6.6cm and a capacity for 3-5ml of solution. This is ideal for incubating cut blot strips. The next box in the range holds 6-10ml of solution and is appropriate for mini gels and blots up to 11.7 x 8.9cm. Two larger boxes, available in single packs, can be used for staining gels or incubating blots up to 12 x 12cm or 20 x 16.5cm respectively.
