Suitable as a blocking Buffer for Western, Southern and Northern Blot membranes. Blocked membranes can then be used in either chemiluminescent, colorimetric, or DIG detection assays.
Features and Benefits
Better blocking performance than dried milk or BSA Compatible with neutral and positively-charged membranes Compatible with chemiluminescent, colorimetric , and DIG detection assays
General description
Casein is a milk-derived substance routinely used in blocking buffers for Western, Southern and Northern Blot procedures. Blocking agents are used to reduce non-specific binding of detection reagents to the membranes.
