ChemiBLOCKER
Description:
ChemiBLOCKER
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Qty/Pk:
2 X 500 mL
Product Overview:
The Chemicon 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.
Related Products:
• BLOT-QuickBlocker™ A novel blocking protein which produces a semi-clear solution. This allows users the option to examine their blot membranes during the blocking procedure. 200g Catalog Number 2080
• 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

Key Applications:
- ELISA
- Western Blotting
- Immunohistochemistry
Application Notes:
Western Blot
ELISA
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).

Presentation:
A 2X solution of non-animal proteins in 2mM TRIS, pH 8.5, 100mM NaCl, 0.001% Tween-20, and 0.08% Kathon added as a preservative.
Storage Conditions:
Store 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.
