Abstract
An electroblotting system including a cassette configured to receive a membrane and a material impregnated with at least one of proteins or nucleic acids. The cassette is connectable to a base such that a current is passable through the cassette to cause at least some of the proteins or nucleic acids to be transferred from the impregnated material to the membrane. The cassette has a first portion, a second portion configured to be releasably coupled to the first portion, and a coupling mechanism configured to releasably couple the first portion to the second portion. The cassette further includes an actuator operatively coupled to the coupling mechanism such that manual depression of the actuator causes the coupling mechanism to release the first portion relative to the second portion.
