Block Ace blocking reagent (BUF029A) used to supress non-specific binding in a sandwich ELISA for the evaluation of anti-tau antibodies.
Image caption:
Novel tau mAbs selectively bind AD-tau compared to tau monomer. a Sandwich ELISA assay comprised of total tau capture antibody K9JA and three distinct tau antigens, AD-tau, AD-P1 PFFs, and tau monomer, detected by novel tau mAbs DMR7 or SKT82 and total tau antibody Tau5 as a loading control demonstrating similar levels of captured antigen for each form of tau.

Block Ace is designed as a high-performance blocking reagent for use in immunological assays such as ELISA and Western blotting. It may also be used for dilution of antibodies and for washing procedures in the above assays.

Block Ace has been shown to have superior performance to 1% BSA in blocking in ELISA assays. In comparison to BSA, Block Ace provides reduced backgrounds and sharper standard curves.

For blocking in ELISA applications, we recommend using a 1/4 dilution of the reconstituted solution.

For blocking in Western Blotting applications, we recommend using the reconstituted solution neat.

For washing applications we recommend a 1/10 dilution of the reconstituted solution, and adding Tween 20 to a level of 0.05-0.2% v/v.

For use as a test sample or secondary antibody diluent we recommend a 1/10 dilution of the reconstituted solution.

Reconstitution
Reconstitute each 4g sachet in 100ml distilled water.
Regulatory
For research purposes only
Guarantee
Guaranteed for 1 week from the date of reconstitution or until the date of expiry, whichever comes first. Please see label for expiry date.

Store at +4oC. DO NOT FREEZE.
This product should be stored undiluted. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
