Blotto Immunoanalytical Grade (Non-Fat Dry Milk)

Store container at room temperature prior to opening. After reconstitution, use blocking buffers immediately. Dilute solutions may be stored at 4° C for up to four (4) days. Solutions containing BLOTTO may be frozen.

Use Biorbyt's BLOTTO whenever procedures call for immunoanalytical grade non-fat dry milk. Alternative blocking agents such as BLOTTO A (solution of TBS, 5% non-fat dry milk and 0.05% Tween-20) and BLOTTO B (solution of TBS, 1% non-fat dry milk, 1% BSA and 0.05% Tween-20) are also available. BLOTTO A is a convenient general purpose blocking agent. BLOTTO B is recommended for blocking when phospho-specific antibodies are used. BLOTTO A and BLOTTO B provide Tween-20 in a separate vial in liquid form (p/n TW0025) . Users should consider the addition of protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors when required. Typically 50 mM NaF can be added to BLOTTO solutions to inhibit phosphatase activity.
