Novel gel cutting device

Abstract

The invention is applicable to the field of protein imprinting and provides a novel gel cutting device. The gel cutting device comprises a box with a top opening. A pair of baffles capable of moving left and right are vertically arranged in the box. Three cross bars capable of moving front and back are arranged on the top of the box. The three cross bars include the front cross bar, the middle cross bar and the rear cross bar, wherein the front cross bar and the rear cross bar are each provided with a pair of movable bolts capable of sliding left and right. Each movable bolt is downwards provided with a coiling block. A blocking membrane is connected between the two coiling blocks on the same cross bar. The middle cross bar is downwards provided with a cutter capable of moving left and right. Through adjustment, the two baffles can be attached to the left and right walls of a gel, and the front and rear blocking membranes are attached to the front and rear walls of the gel. In this way, the novel gel cutting device ensure the stability of the gel in the cutting process. Meanwhile, the cutter is limited on the middle cross bar to move left and right. Moreover, the middle cross bar can also move front and back. Thus, the cutting stability of the cutter in the moving process can be realized. The whole novel gel cutting device is simple in structure, convenient to use and suitablefor accurate cutting of various sizes of gels.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of western blotting, and in particular relates to a novel gel cutting device. Background technique [0002] Scientific research and teaching units often carry out Western blot experiments, and one of the key steps is to transfer the gel containing the protein to the membrane. In order to save the membrane, the gel is generally cut before transferring the membrane, leaving only the gel part containing the target protein, and then attaching the corresponding membrane, and the protein can be fully transferred to the membrane through subsequent membrane transfer. However, there is currently no tool on the market that can cut the gel. In the laboratory, most people buy simple devices by themselves: they use rulers, cards, etc. to cut the gel. The tools are extremely simple and easy to damage the gel. Glue, the cut glue is also easy to slide, so there is an urgent need for a new device for cutting glue. Content...
