Synthetic Blocker

• Description:

  Increases the Sensitivity of the Assay. This is done by stabilizing the antigenic and functional regions of the absorbed protein., Reduces Background Noise. Block buffers inhibit nonspecific binding to uncoated regions of the plate and non-specific binding sections of the absorbed proteins. This leads to lower background noise and high specific signal., Increases Efficiency and Extends the Shelf-Life of the Coated Plates. With a longer shelf-life, plates may be prepared in large batches to be used over time. Large batch sizes will increase efficiency and reduce plate-to-plate variability to increase consistency., Conserves Valuable Reagents. By promoting a higher specific signal, less protein may be needed to coat the plate and less of the detection molecules may be needed to generate a signal when the proper blocker is used.

• Target Description:

  ICT’s Synthetic Blocker is a novel non-protein blocking formulation designed to eliminate interference and nonspecific background noise associated with antibody-coated ELISA formats and sandwich ELISAs. Because Synthetic Blocker contains inert non-reactive blockers, it reduces the amount of nonspecific binding of enzyme-labeled conjugates to blocked plate surfaces. Use of this blocking formulation provides superior background performance without the use of conventional cross-reactive protein additives.
