Thermo Fisher Scientific has expanded its line ofbiotin-binding microplates with the introduction of the Thermo ScientificPierce High Sensitivity Streptavidin and NeutrAvidin Coated Plates. Within theproduct line, these plates offer a high level of sensitivity, enabling detectiondown to 5 ng/ml for samples with molecular weights greater than 27 kDa. Theplates are ideal for ELISA-based assays with biotinylated antibodies orbiotinylated proteins. The Pierce High Sensitivity Biotin-Binding Platesdeliver strong signals and low background within 5-300 ng/ml of biotinylatedmolecule for the Streptavidin plates and 5-125 ng/ml for the NeutrAvidinPlates. The plates are supplied pre-blocked with Thermo Scientific Blocker BSAand are ready for use. Researchers can choose clear plates for colorimetricdetection methods or black plates for use with fluorescent or chemiluminescentprocedures. The plates are individually wrapped, preserving integrity of unusedplates, and are easily stored at 4 degrees Celsius for up to one year.
