Odyysey Blocking Buffer

Optimized for near-infrared, chemiluminescence, and visible fluorescence techniques
Low cross-reactivity (non-mammalian)
Tested on the Odyssey and Aerius Systems against other blockers and found to be superior, though no blocker is “best” for all primary antibodies
Wide Range of Applications
- Western Blots
- In-Cell Western™ Assays
- On-Cell Western Assays
- Protein Arrays
- Dot Blots

Western blots of tissue lysates illustrating significant differences in antibody performance with 5% BSA, 5 % Milk, and Odyssey Blocking Buffer reagents.

pAkt and β-Tubulin are shown to differently with various blockers. In 5% BSA the pAkt antibody has extra bands (green); however, in I-Block β-Tubulin has extra bands, indicating there is no universal blocker for all antibodies.
