Day 9
STOP non-specific binding! Increase sensitivity in ELISAs and Western blots!

AbD Serotec has a comprehensive range of specialist blocking buffers for optimizing ELISAs and Western blots. Our performance-guaranteed buffers are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards ensuring reliability and consistency.
We use these quality buffers routinely at AbD Serotec for our antibody validations. Why not take this chance to try them for free?
When you spend at least £200/ €250/ $300 on catalog reagents, you can claim a FREE PACK of Block Ace, BSA Block, Synblock, or Ultrablock.
Block Ace (BUF029)
Superior to 1% BSA, Block Ace is a high-performance blocking buffer which can also be used as a wash buffer, and for diluting antibodies. In comparison to BSA, Block Ace provides reduced backgrounds and sharper standard curves.
BSA Block (BUF032A)
This reagent minimizes non-specific binding in sandwich and antigen-down ELISAs. Based on BSA, this buffer has a proprietary protein stabilizer that creates a long-term stable environment for coating antigens or capture antibodies.
Ultrablock (BUF033A)
A buffer containing proprietary non-mammalian proteins from fish designed to reduce non-specific binding. Due to the small size of the fish molecules, Ultrablock can coat non-specific binding sites that are sterically inaccessible to traditional blockers. With its extra blocking strength, Ultrablock is ideal for use in antigen-down and sandwich ELISAs that suffer from high background problems.
Synblock (BUF034A)
For maximum blocking strength use Synblock, a novel non-protein blocking formulation for antibody-coated and sandwich ELISAs. This synthetic, inert blocking agent provides maximum reduction of interference and eliminates non-specific background noise.
Can’t decide which is best for you? Let our quick guide help you…

Terms and Conditions:
- Please see below for general “10-day Seasonal Giveaway” rules.
- Quote DIS-BUF plus CAT# of the free buffer in the order.
- Pack sizes included in the free offer are BUF029 (Blockace, 20 x 4 g), BUF032A (BSA Block, 100 ml), BUF033A (Ultrablock, 100 ml) and BUF034A (Synblock, 100 ml) only.
- Ends 31 December 2008.

Special prize drawing worth $11,000

Take advantage of any of our “10-day Seasonal Giveaways” before December 15 and you could win a HuCAL custom monoclonal project worth $11,000!
Human Combinatorial Antibody Library (HuCAL®) technology is a unique and innovative concept for in vitro generation of exquisitely specific monoclonal antibodies in just 8 weeks.
It is the same technology used by AbD Serotec’s parent company, MorphoSys, to develop therapeutic antibodies for major pharmaceutical partners such as Novartis.
HuCAL has many proven advantages over traditional animal immunization approaches including the direct selection of epitope-specific and phospho-specific antibodies or antibodies that can distinguish closely related proteins differing by just one amino acid1.
Find out more about the power and benefits of HuCAL technology here
