Minifold I System

Minifold I Dot-Blot System
– 96 well

Minifold I Spot-Blot System
– 96 well

Minifold I Slot-Blot System
– 48 well

Superior 96 and 48 Well Manifolds for Proteins and Nucleic Acids: Dot, Spot, and Slot-Blot Array Systems
The Minifold I™ system consists of four basic components: sample well plate, filter support plate, vacuum plenum, and metal clamping plate. The sample well plate is available in three configurations for producing spots, dots or slots.

The Minifold I System is compatible with multichannel pipettes. All three plates are interchangeable and can be purchased as accessory plates or in conjunction with a complete system. The tension on the clamping is adjustable, permitting use of a variety of blotting and filtration media.

Minifold I Dot-Blot System – 96 Well
Novel O-ring design – ensures discrete dot formation without leakage of samples by cross lateral flow. 

Generates even, uniform dots that eliminate uneven test areas resulting from manual sample application.

Minifold I Spot-Blot System – 96 Well
Small volume required – sample volumes as low as 25 µl can be applied using less of your precious sample.

Very high signal intensity – 2 mm2 sample application area results in increased signal intensity.

Standard microtitration format – 96 samples on a single membrane, same as the standard Minifold Dot-Blot System.

Minifold I Slot-Blot System – 48 Well
Preferred format for densitometric scanning, since slots can be easily quantitated.

Concentrated signal – 6 mm2 sample application area results in high signal intensity.

Easy to survey format – 48 samples on your membrane are easier to view than 96 samples.
