Western Blot Box EMS Med Rect 3½x2-9/16×1 in 5 Pack Gel Hinged Lid

Description

Product Overview

The EMS Western Blot Box is engineered specifically for laboratories that require reliable, space‑saving storage for mini protein gels. Measuring 3½×2‑9/16×1 inches, the rectangular form factor fits neatly into standard lab shakers, incubators, and refrigerator shelves. Constructed from high‑grade corrugated cardboard, the box provides a balance of lightweight handling and robust protection against physical impact, moisture, and dust. The interior is smooth‑finished to prevent gel adhesion, and the exterior is printed with clear labeling for easy identification of contents. Each package includes five individually sealed compartments, allowing researchers to organize multiple samples or experimental replicates without cross‑contamination. The hinged lid design creates a tight seal that significantly reduces evaporation, preserving buffer volumes and antibody concentrations throughout the electrophoresis and transfer processes.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Western Blot Box integrates seamlessly into a variety of laboratory workflows. Whether you are running Bio‑Rad Protean 3 mini gels, preparing samples for immunoblotting, or storing completed gels for downstream analysis, the box offers a convenient, reusable solution. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for use on bench tops, within shaker platforms, or inside cold storage units where space is at a premium. The hinged lid can be opened quickly for rapid access, yet closes securely to maintain a controlled environment, making it suitable for both short‑term processing and longer‑term archival of gels. Researchers in academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical settings benefit from reduced reagent waste, as the minimized evaporation translates directly into lower antibody consumption and more consistent experimental outcomes.

FAQ

Can the box be reused after cleaning?

Yes, the EMS Western Blot Box can be gently wiped with a lint‑free cloth and a mild detergent solution. After drying completely, it is ready for another round of gel storage, making it a cost‑effective and environmentally friendly option.

Is the box compatible with all mini gel formats?

The box is designed to accommodate most standard mini gel formats, including Bio‑Rad Protean 3 and similar dimensions. Its interior dimensions provide a snug fit while allowing enough clearance for easy handling.

How does the hinged lid compare to a snap‑on lid?

The hinged lid offers a smoother opening experience and a more consistent seal, which helps to further limit evaporation compared to a traditional snap‑on lid that may leave small gaps. This design also reduces the risk of lid breakage during frequent opening and closing.

What is the maximum weight the box can hold?

Each compartment can safely hold up to 4 ml of gel solution, which aligns with the typical volume used in mini gel applications. The overall box structure can support the combined weight of all five compartments without deformation.

Does EMS provide any warranty for this product?

EMS offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Should any issue arise within this period, contact EMS customer service for a replacement or refund, subject to the warranty terms.
