General description

Gelatin Blocking Buffer is a standard reagent in Western blotting procedures. It is used to block non-specific binding on the membrane, when using nylon or nitrocellulose (but not PVDF).

Application

Suitable for use as a non-specific blocking agent for Western blots.

Reconstitution

Dissolve entire contents of the bottle in a final volume of 1L molecular biology grade water. The resulting solution will be faint yellow in color and does not require filtering or heating before use.

Protocols

Gelatin Blocking Buffer for Direct Detection Southern or Western Blotting

In order to specifically detect an antigen or target molecule immobilized on a solid support, unoccupied binding sites on the support must be blocked against binding by probe and detection molecules.

Northern and Southern Blot Protocols & Introduction

An introduction to both Northern and Southern blotting, popular methods for the transfer of macromolecules to membranous support. This article also offers a Southern blot protocol and a northern blot protocol.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
