  • Page 5: General Information

    These blotting systems have transfer capabilities for gel dimensions up to 20cm x 20cm (Cat. # EBU-4000) or 35cm x 45cm (Cat. # EBU-6000). The stainless steel cathode and platinum-coated titanium anode are durable and corrosion-resistant.
  • Page 6: Description Of Parts

    Section 2 Description of Parts Unpacking the EBU-4000 or EBU-6000 Please verify that your unit comes complete with the following components: • Blotting chamber with stainless steel cathode, and platinum-coated anode • Safety cover with power leads • Mylar sheets (for shielding uncovered portion of anode)
  • Page 7: Instructions For Use

    0.8mA/cm of gel area. For gels used in the EBU-4000 (15x15cm up to a max. of 20x20cm) this translates to upwards of 300mA. In the larger EBU-6000, this can increase to 1200mA. Please ensure that an adequate power supply is being used to power the transfer.
  • Page 8 C.B.S. has designed this device such that it cannot be opened unless the power cords are disconnected. DO NOT attempt to open the transfer apparatus without disconnecting the power cords and shutting off the power supply. C.B.S. Scientific Co, Inc. Semi-Dry Blotters...
  • Page 9 Place 3-4 pieces of saturated filter paper carefully centered over the cutout. Flatten the filter paper by rolling a glass rod over the surface. C.B.S. Scientific Co, Inc. Semi-Dry Blotters...
  • Page 10 Standard electrophoresis buffers for RNA are usually 1XTAE or 1XTBE. Electro-blotting transfer occurs in low ionic strength buffer. Exchange the 1X electrophoresis bufferby soaking in 0.1X buffer for 20-30 minutes. 3. Preparation of the Apparatus C.B.S. Scientific Co, Inc. Semi-Dry Blotters...
