DYNABLOT PLUS
The DYNABLOT PLUS is an automated processing instrument for immunoblot and western blot strips, made by Dynex Technologies. It handles up to 44 strips per run and takes over the dispensing, incubation and washing steps. Reagents are dispensed by peristaltic pumps, 6 or 7 depending on the version, and removed through an integrated vacuum pump into a waste bottle. A rocking plate mixes during incubation, at slow, medium or fast speed.

- 6 or 7 peristaltic pumps, depending on the version
- Vacuum removal of liquid to a waste bottle
- Rocking plate for mixing, three speeds
- Memory for 20 assays of 14 steps each, edited in BlotEditor

The DYNABLOT PLUS automates the processing of immunoblot and western blot strips: dispensing, incubation with mixing, washing and emptying. It is a benchtop instrument for laboratories that run strip assays in series.
Capacity and mechanics
Up to 44 strips are processed in one run. Reagents are dispensed by peristaltic pumps, 6 in the 6p version and 7 in the 7p version, and liquid is removed by an integrated vacuum pump into a waste bottle. During incubation the strip plate rocks, at a slow, medium or fast speed. The top folds open for access to the tubing, which is what maintenance on this instrument comes down to.
Operation
The instrument is operated from a 6-button keypad with an 80-character illuminated LCD display. Its memory holds up to 20 assays of 14 steps each. Assays are configured and edited on a PC in the BlotEditor software and transferred over USB.
Format and use
The dimensions are 520 x 310 x 250 mm and the weight 14.5 kg for the 6-pump version (D7144-P6) or 17 kg for the 7-pump version (D7144-P7). The manufacturer is Dynex Technologies, and the EU declaration of conformity classes the instrument as class A under rule 5b of Regulation 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices. The operating manual states that only trained laboratory personnel may operate it, that test methods and kits used on it have to be validated by the laboratory under the applicable standards, and that the instrument is not approved for operation in the USA and Canada.
