The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $297,664 Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant to Blotting Innovations, LLC under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The purpose of this project is to develop two innovative products for western blotting, a widely used protein analysis technique in biomedical research:

  1. A "Gelbrane" cassette that combines a polyacrylamide gel and transfer membrane in a single pre-cast unit, eliminating the need for manual construction of the transfer sandwich, a common error-prone step.

  2. A transfer apparatus designed for the Gelbrane cassette that further streamlines the western blotting workflow.

The goal is to provide an integrated solution that improves reliability, reproducibility, and ease-of-use compared to conventional western blotting methods. The project will run from August 2023 to August 2024 and focus on establishing robust electrophoresis and transfer performance with the Gelbrane system.
