Buffers and Reagents
Overview
Most immunoassays including ELISA, immunohistochemistry, western blot and flow cytometry rely on reagents for experimental success.
These reagents include wash buffers, blocking solutions, assay diluents, and substrate buffers, all of which are crucial for accurate and consistent results.
For example, the success of ELISAs heavily depends on adequate and thorough washing between antibody incubation steps to remove unbound antibody, reduce background noise, and increase signal specificity.
