Save Money on Antibodies - now less volume is required!

These specially designed containers perfectly accommodate Western blots of different size, including whole blots, half blots, and strips. They come in 13 different sizes in both clear and black plastic. Our PerfectWestern^® containers significantly reduce the volume of expensive antibodies required while still producing beautiful Western blots!

These containers were conceived by our own frustration in searching for suitable containers for Western blots. The choices were often much too large and never flat enough, causing waste of antibody and concern about scratching the membrane. We decided to design our own containers offering many different sizes and options to truly achieve a PerfectWestern^®. Our containers are made of durable polystyrene plastic, with ultra-smooth flat inner surfaces and hinged lids to reduce evaporation. Their 90° edges create excellent membrane movement for more efficient incubation.

All containers come in both clear and black versions. The clear container allows easy visualization of the blot, whereas the black version keeps light-sensitive reagents protected. In addition, 4 of our most popular sizes (Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large) are available in 6 different translucent colors: pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. For more information on the colored containers, click here.
