Thermo Scientific™ Tween 20 Blocking Buffer, 1% in PBS (10X) is a high-quality concentrated buffer solution formulated for effective washing and blocking in antibody-based immunoassays. This PBS-based formulation contains 1% Tween 20, a gentle nonionic surfactant that reduces nonspecific antibody binding and improves assay clarity.
Designed for routine use in Western blotting, ELISA, and other immunodetection protocols, this blocking buffer helps minimize background staining by preventing unwanted protein interactions and ensuring efficient removal of unbound immunological reagents between incubation steps.
Supplied as a viscous liquid 10X concentrate, it offers convenience, reproducibility, and reduced preparation time in busy research laboratories.
Key Features and Benefits
Prevents Nonspecific Antibody Binding
Tween 20 blocks nonspecific binding sites, improving signal-to-noise ratio and reducing background in immunoassays.
Optimized for Wash and Blocking Steps
Ideal for washes between immunoreactions and for preparing incubation solutions of labeled antibodies or immunoreagents.
Efficient Removal of Unbound Reagents
Helps remove excess antibodies and proteins from membranes and microplates, enhancing detection specificity.
Convenient Concentrated Stock Solution
Supplied as a 10X concentrate, allowing rapid dilution to working strength and consistent buffer preparation.
Cold Storage for Stability
Recommended storage at 2°C to 8°C ensures optimal performance over time.
Applications
Thermo Scientific™ Tween 20 Blocking Buffer is widely used for:
- Western blot membrane washing and blocking
- ELISA plate washing steps
- Immunoassay background reduction
- Removal of unbound immunological reagents
- Antibody incubation solution preparation
- General immunodetection workflows
