Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Streptavidin Coated Plates

Description

Streptavidin-coated microplates provide the biotin-binding function needed for a variety of ELISA and other assay procedures based on biotinylated capture antibodies, peptide antigens, and other analytes such as oligonucleotides. Pierce Streptavidin Coated Plates are available in clear, white, and black plates for use with colorimetric, chemiluminescent, and fluorescent detection methods, respectively.

Thermo Scientific Pierce Streptavidin Coated Plates are pre-blocked and ready-to-use polystyrene plates for binding biotinylated antibodies or probes for ELISA and other target-specific assays.

Features of Streptavidin Coated Plates include:
• Approximate binding capacity is ∼5 pmol biotin/well
• Easy and gentle immobilization of biotin-containing conjugates
• Low nonspecific binding
• No denaturing of the protein component of a conjugate upon binding
• Ideal for binding small biotinylated hydrophilic molecules (e.g., peptides) that typically exhibit poor binding to polystyrene
• Pre-blocked with your choice of Blocker BSA or SuperBlock Blocking Buffer

Biotin-binding plates are ideal for applications when direct adsorption to polystyrene denatures antibodies or the target molecule. Streptavidin is the most popular and widely available biotin-binding protein for research methods. Streptavidin has an isoelectric point of 5 to 6, resulting in low nonspecific interactions.
