| The Minifold I system consists of four basic components: sample well plate, filter support plate, vacuum plenum, and metal clamping plate (see diagram). The sample well plate is available in three configurations for producing spots, dots, or slots (see below). All three plates are interchangeable and can be purchased as an accessory plate in conjunction with a complete system. The tension on the clamping is adjustable, permitting use of a variety of blotting and filtration media.
Unique O-ring design - ensures discrete dot formation without leakage of samples by cross lateral flow.
Generates even, uniform dots - the standard dot-blot system which eliminates uneven test areas resulting from manual sample application.
Two materials available - standard acrylic or autoclavable Delrin®.
