New StabilBlot™ Blocker Family
Introducing the newest members of SurModics' family of quality immunodiagnostic reagents. A blocking buffer family that enhances sensitivity and minimizes background in blotting applications.
Western blotting, also known as immunoblotting, is a method used to detect a target protein. Western blotting combines the protein separation capabilities of PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and immunochemistry to detect these target proteins from a complex matrix such as cell or tissue lysate.
Membranes used in western blotting are porous and should be blocked to avoid non-specific binding and background. Our StabilBlot Blocker Family offers a range of options, both protein-based and synthetic-based, to block non-specific binding as well as enhance sensitivity when used as a blocker and antibody diluent.
"Anyone can block something. An impressive reagent is one that can block non-specific binding, and maintain the specific signal simultaneously." -SurModics Senior Scientist

StabilBlot Protein-Free Blocker
Learn MoreThe absence of protein in the formulation provides a synthetic alternative that eliminates cross-reactivity and increases sensitivity. No dilution required.
-
StabilBlot BSA Blocker
Learn MoreFor applications that work well with BSA for blocking, our ready-to-use BSA formulation significantly reduces overall background and blotchiness that may be observed with in-house and competitor buffers. No dilution required.
-
StabilBlot Casein Blocker (5X PBS & 5X TBS)
Learn MoreFor strong blocking of background, try either the casein PBS or TBS formulations. The casein TBS formulation also works well in a system that is sensitive to phosphate. The casein blockers should be diluted to 1X in distilled water and mixed well prior to use.
-
StabilBlot Milk Blocker (10X)
Learn MoreFor the strongest blocking, use the milk formulation. The milk blocker should be diluted to 1X in distilled water and mixed well prior to use.
