HBSS with BSA is used like a blocking buffer. It’s used to block ELISA strips and as a diluent of primary and secondary antibodies used for ELISA applications. BSA is useful for saturating excess protein-binding sites on membranes and microplates in immunoassays. Blocker BSA is usually more effective than nonfat milk blocking buffers for biotin-avidin systems. Use as a diluent for antigens, antibodies, and other proteins only after sensitization of the microwell plate or membrane.
