ELISA Wash Buffers

ELISA wash buffers are solutions used to eliminate unnecessary and unbound components that can cause background detection and interference in an ELISA assay. Wash buffers can be used after plate coating to rinse microtiter plates or after any step that involves the addition of reagents, such as antibodies, blockers, or substrates. Like other biological buffers, ELISA wash buffers can be based on common buffering agents like Tris or PBS. These ready-to-use and optimized ELISA reagents can help improve the immunoassay workflow, increasing reproducibility and throughput. Note that excessive washing can lead to the elution of the intended target from the well causing decreased sensitivity.
