Blocking Buffer

Blocking buffer is used for the reduction of background interference during Western blotting, ELISA, immunostaining or other immunoassays. This buffer prevents non-specific binding of antibodies by binding to any open protein binding sites that do not have antibodies or antigen attached. Blocking Buffer enhances the sensitivity and specificity of any immunochemical applications by increasing signal-to-noise ratio and promoting specific binding of the primary antibody while minimizing non-specific interactions. This buffer comes as a ready-to-use solution of preformulated nonfat dry milk which is suitable for any immunochemical applications.
