Monster Block ELISA Blocking Buffer

Reduce non specific binding in ELISAs, address high background issues, and stabilize proteins with Monster Block, a new ELISA blocking buffer utilizing a heterogenous mixture of nonmammalian blocking agents.

Monster Block™ provides a high degree of blocking efficiency and protein stabilization through the use of non-mammalian protein blocking agents and stabilizers. The heterogeneous composition of this unique ELISA blocking buffer efficiently blocks the uncoated regions of the microtiter plate without the use of mammalian protein additives.

Monster Block's heterogenous mixture of nonmammalian blocking agents minimizes non specific binding interactions during the immunoassay process, reducing ELISA background noise and increasing specific signal. In addition, the non-mammalian-based Monster Block formulation is antigenically foreign to most mammalian immune systems, reducing the chance of cross-reactivity with anti-isotype detection antibodies.


Features:

• High degree of blocking efficiency to address high background problems in antigen-down and sandwich immunoassays
• Beneficial for all ELISA formats
• Useful for testing mammalian serum samples: Nonmammalian formulation reduces risk of endogenous antibodies in sample reacting with adsorbed protein
• Stabilizes coated protein during long-term storage by providing a microhydrated environment for improved retention of antigen epitope and antibody binding activity
