Blockers

HAMA and Interference Blockers

These sample and antibody diluents can reduce interferences in immunoassays caused by HAMA, rheumatoid factors, nonspecific binding, cross-reactivities and matrix effects. The use of these assay diluents can prevent false positive or false negative results and therefore improve the reliability of the results.

Stabilizers

Immunoassay stabilizers are needed to preserve the native conformation of proteins and to protect them from losing their functionality. Stabilizers for immunoassays allow long-term storage of antibodies, conjugates (e.g. HRP-labeled or AP-labeled) and antigens in solutions as well as coated onto surfaces like microtiter plates or others. Medix Biochemica's CANDOR products offer stabilizers to protect proteins, antibodies and conjugates in solution as well as stabilizers for antibodies coated on surfaces. The portfolio ranges from Liquid Plate Sealer^® over HRP-Protector™, AP-Protector^®, Antibody Stabilizer to LowCross^® HRP-Stab.

To always get the same reliable results in immunoassays, it is essential to preserve standards for calibration curves, coated plates and antibodies during storage. Medix Biochemica's CANDOR stabilizers can be used for preserving activity of all biological components of an immunoassay. Medix Biochemica's CANDOR stabilizers are routinely used for production of commercial ELISA kits with shelf lives of 2 or more years.
