Improves Assays
- 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.
