Nexterion® blocking reagents

Nexterion® Block A Kit
(order code: 100 mL 1206704, 500 mL 1206717)

Easy-to-use reagent for deactivating aminosilane coating after printing
Nexterion® Block A is a highly effective reagent for blocking aminosilane slide surfaces after microarray printing. It is ideal for use with both Nexterion® Slide A+ and Slide AStar, as well as other commercial slides. The reagent is based on the well accepted BSA blocking method, and works by blocking the reactive groups on the slide surface not occupied by the spotted DNA molecules. This significantly reduces any potential non-specific binding of the labeled target, thereby minimizing the background signals on the final microarray. The reagent is supplied as a convenient, pre-made, two-part solution that does not contain any hazardous materials.
Nexterion® Nexterion® Block E
(order code: 100 mL 1066069, 1000 mL 1066071)

Highly effective reagent for deactivating epoxy coating after printing
Nexterion® Block E is a blocking solution optimized for Nexterion® Slide E. It reacts rapidly with residual epoxy groups in both the printed and unprinted areas of the slide surface and was developed to ensure high signal intensities with reduced non-specific background, thus increasing overall data reproducibility. SCHOTT Microarray Solutions has demonstrated that Nexterion® Block E is an extremely important component for producing high quality DNA microarrays with very good signal-to-background ratios. Nexterion® Block E is available as a 4x concentration in 100 and 1000 mL packs.
