DescriptionChemiBLOCKER
OverviewThe ChemiBLOCKER™ is an unique membrane-blocking agent. As a non-animal protein blocker it offers an alternative to milk-based blocking agents, minimizing the risk of non-specific binding of antibodies to your membrane and lowering your background. ChemiBLOCKER™ may be used at dilutions as high as 20x but for most applications, a 5 to 10 fold dilution is appropriate. ChemiBLOCKER™ is biotin free and will not interfere with ABC detection systems. ChemiBLOCKER™ does contain phosphates and may not be suitable for use with some phospho-specific antibodies.

• Femto/TBST wash buffer (10X) 250mL Catalog Number 2081

Materials required:
• 1X femto/TBST (Catalog Number 2081), 1X TBST, or 1X PBST
• primary and secondary antibodies
• reagents for immunodetection

PROTOCOL:

1. Make up blocking solution by mixing 1 part ChemiBLOCKER™ with 1 part 1X femto-TBST/PBST (TBST or PBST also work) for blocking PVDF membranes. For nitrocellulose membranes, mix 1 part ChemiBLOCKER™ with 3 parts 1X femto-TBST (TBST or PBST also work). Note:ChemiBLOCKER™ can be used at a wide variety of dilutions, some optimization may be necessary. ChemiBLOCKER™ is NOT recommended for phospho-protein studies as it does contain phosphorylated proteins.

2. Incubate the membrane in blocking solution (10-20 mL) for 60 minutes at room temperature with shaking in a heat-sealable plastic bag.

3. Prepare antibody dilution buffer (ADB). For PVDF membranes mix 1 part ChemiBLOCKER™ with 3 parts 1X femto-TBST/PBST (TBST or PBST also work). Incubate the membrane in 5-10 mL primary antibody, diluted appropriately with ADB, for 90 min at room temperature with shaking.

4. Wash the membrane 3 times in 50 mL of 1X femto-TBST (TBST or PBST also work) for 5 min each time at room temperature with shaking.

5. Incubate the membrane in 5-10 mL secondary antibody, diluted appropriately with ADB, for 90 min at room temperature with shaking.

6. Wash the membrane as in step #4, but add one extra wash (4 washes total).

7. Wash the membrane 3 times quickly (30 sec.) in 50 mL pure deionized water each time and then process the blot, using femto-LUCENT™ detection system (or your favorite system).

  • Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
Storage and Shipping Information
Storage ConditionsStore kit components at 2-8°C for up to 1 year from date of purchase. Warm ChemiBLOCKER™ to room temperature and mix thoroughly before dispensing. To avoid possible microbial contamination, dispense all solutions aseptically. Over time, phenolic compounds may precipitate out of solution resulting in the formation of a small amount of dark brown to black particulate material at the bottom of the container. This material will not affect the performance of the blocking compound.
