Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological experimental instrument technology, specifically to an incubation device for an immunoblotting instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Western blotting is a commonly used biological technique for detecting the expression levels of specific proteins. In Western blotting experiments, the incubation step is crucial, requiring the membrane and antibody to react sufficiently at an appropriate temperature. Traditional incubation methods typically use shakers or incubators, which have the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Inaccurate temperature control: Traditional shakers or incubators have low temperature control accuracy, making it difficult to ensure temperature consistency during the incubation process.

[0004] 2. Uneven shaking: The amplitude and frequency of shaking of the shaker are difficult to control precisely, resulting in uneven distribution of antibodies during the incubation process.

[0005] 3. Cumbersome operation: The membrane needs to be manually placed into the shaker or incubator, which is cumbersome and inefficient.

[0006] Therefore, this application provides an incubation device for an immunoblotting instrument to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
