PBST
Phosphate Buffered Saline with Tween-20 (PBST) is a modified PBS solution designed to reduce non-specific binding and enhance signal clarity in immunoassays. By combining PBS with Tween-20, a non-ionic surfactant, PBST improves washing efficiency and helps maintain protein solubility and assay consistency.
With a stable pH range of 7.0–7.4, PBST is ideal for:
ELISA and Western blotting workflows
Washing and blocking steps in antibody-based assays
Reducing background noise for improved signal-to-noise ratio
- Minimizes non-specific binding in sensitive detection assays
- Maintains ionic strength and protein solubility
- Improves assay reproducibility and signal clarity
Whether you're optimizing an immunoassay or standardizing lab protocols, PBST provides the consistency, cleanliness, and performance needed for reliable results.
