Blocking Reagents are used to prevent non-specific binding in various biochemical assays, including immunoprecipitation, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. These reagents block free sites that might otherwise bind non-specifically to antibodies or other detection reagents.
Our proprietary blocking reagent, BlokHen® is a fish serum-based immunoreagent designed for use with chicken antibodies. It already contains concentrated buffer and non-ionic detergent (tween-20), allowing simple dilution with water. BlokHen® can be used in Western Blots, Immunohistochemistry or Immunocytochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, or ELISA applications.
Immunoprecipitation (IP) is a laboratory technique used to isolate a specific antigen (protein) from a complex mixture, such as a cell lysate, using an antibody that specifically binds to that antigen.
Our PrecipHen® is made from goat anti-chicken IgY antibodies covalently attached to agarose beads. It is designed for use with chicken antibodies in immunoprecipitation (IP), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), and protein purification applications.
