Advansta Inc. announces the release of new FLASHBlot Transfer Buffer

Advansta’s new FLASHBlot Transfer Buffer allows scientists to achieve increased sensitivity by enhancing protein transfer and membrane retention

MENLO PARK, California – March, 2014 – Advansta Inc. announces the release of FLASHBlot Transfer Buffer. This novel transfer buffer offers enhanced transfer of proteins from electrophoretic gels to membranes for immunoblotting. Compared to commonly used transfer buffers, FLASHBlot Transfer Buffer provides improved transfer efficiency of all proteins, including those of high molecular weight. FLASHBlot Transfer Buffer also allows for increased protein retention on membranes resulting in more sensitive detection of low-abundance proteins. Transfers with the FLASHBlot buffer can be performed with all traditional wet transfer apparatuses and take less than 20 minutes. The short transfer times plus increased transfer efficiency and protein retention allow for sensitive detection of post-translationally modified proteins, which can be difficult to detect after traditional transfer protocols.

The addition of FLASHBlot Transfer Buffer to Advansta’s portfolio of products increases Advansta’s ability to aid researchers in sensitive protein detection as part of their protein characterization research and discovery.
