Long-term storage of cultured cells; Cryopreservation of mammalian cells is extremely valuable and common in biological research. Fear of losing a cell line to contamination or incubator failure is frequently the impetus for making archival storage of cells a high priority after receiving or generating a new cell line. Once transferred from growth media to freezing medium, the cells are usually frozen at a controlled rate and stored in liquid nitrogen vapor or at -130°C in a mechanical deep freeze. Although freezing a cell line is a commonly performed procedure, problems arise when suitable freezers are not available, or unwanted variables are introduced by the presence of serum, extra-wash or complicated freezing algorithms.

The FastGene® Western Blot System is an efficient device to perform the first Western Blot protein transfer step from gel to membrane via a wet electropohoretic transfer technique. The Western Blot Systems contains all the necessary components for reliable protein transfer and comes with detailed guidelines to successfully perform transfer and Western Blot analysis.
The system includes a cool pack, which is installed during the run. The cool pack absobs generated running heat, avoiding the possibility of power loss. Gel and membrane can be easily sandwiched in the blot connector, which is assembled via an easy-to-use lock mechanism.
