Semi-Dry Blot
At Stellar Scientific, we offer premium semi-dry blot transfer systems engineered for efficient, high-throughput protein transfers in your western blotting workflow. Whether you’re transferring proteins for immunoblotting, membrane analyses, or nucleic-acid blots, our systems deliver faster transfers, reduced buffer use, and reliable results.
Why Choose Our Semi-Dry Blot Transfer Systems?
Fast & Efficient Transfers
Semi-dry systems significantly reduce transfer time compared to traditional wet tank methods. Many models complete transfers in 15-60 minutes, and advanced units can complete transfers in as little as 3-10 minutes.
Minimal Buffer & Easier Setup
Because the gel-membrane “sandwich” is placed directly between electrodes, semi-dry transfers require far less buffer and no large tank, streamlining setup and cleanup.
Versatile for Proteins & Nucleic Acids
Semi-dry units aren’t just for proteins; they’re also compatible with DNA and RNA transfers using appropriate membranes and filter stacks.
Ideal Applications for Semi-Dry Blot Transfer Systems
Semi-dry blot transfer systems are used in a variety of laboratory applications, including:
-
Western blotting of proteins for immunodetection
-
Rapid screening of multiple samples or high-throughput assays
-
Nucleic acid transfers (Southern or Northern blotting)
-
Labs seeking to reduce transfer time and buffer waste
-
Projects where smaller sample volumes or frequent transfers are required
Available Models & Options
We carry a range of semi-dry transfer devices configured to meet your throughput and budget:
-
Compact units for 1 - 2 gels or mini-gel formats
-
Multi-gel capacity systems for high-throughput labs
-
Pre-programmed models with optimized protocols based on gel type & protein size
-
Stack-based systems with minimal buffer or even buffer-free consumables
Features & Design Highlights
Direct Electrode Contact & Secure Clamping
High-quality semi-dry cells use platinum-coated titanium anode plates and stainless steel cathode plates for consistent, long-lasting performance.
One-Step Setup & Safety Cover
Many systems offer one-step locking mechanisms for the gel stack and a safety cover that cuts power when opened, enhancing user safety.
Customizable Protocols
Models with digital control allow selection of time, current or voltage, and even preset methods for different molecular-weight ranges.

FAQs About Semi-Dry Blot Transfer Systems
How do semi-dry transfers compare to wet tank transfers?
Semi-dry transfers are much faster, use less buffer, and require a smaller equipment footprint, but may require some optimization for very large proteins (>300 kDa).
Can I transfer DNA/RNA using a semi-dry system?
Yes, many semi-dry units support nucleic-acid transfers using appropriate membranes and filter stacks.
What capacity should I choose?
Choose based on your gel format and throughput. Mini-gel labs may require single or dual capacity; high-throughput labs may opt for models with 3-4 gel capacity.
Do I need a special buffer?
Often, standard transfer buffer formats work, though some systems offer optimized or minimal buffer consumables to reduce waste.
