Melford PBS/Tween 20 10X Solution

PBS/Tween 20 10X Solution is primarily utilized for various applications such as immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and antibody-based assays. It serves as a buffer for sample dilution, antibody washing, and blocking steps during these experimental procedures.

The solution is prepared at a 10X concentration, meaning it is ten times more concentrated than the final desired concentration. This concentrated form allows for efficient storage and transportation, as well as flexibility in adjusting the final working concentration.

PBS is a buffer commonly used in biological and biochemical research. It provides a stable pH environment and maintains osmolarity, ensuring optimal conditions for biological reactions.

PBS is also compatible with biological samples, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Tween 20, a nonionic detergent, is added to the PBS solution to reduce nonspecific binding and improve the efficiency of antibody-antigen interactions. It also helps in washing steps by reducing background noise and enhancing signal detection.
