TrueBlack® Lipofuscin Autofluorescence Quencher (Cat. No. 23007) and TrueBlack® Plus Lipofuscin Autofluorescence Quencher (Cat. No. 23014) are designed to reduce autofluorescence from lipofuscin in tissue samples such as mouse and human brains and retina. While TrueBlack® Lipofuscin Quenchers have been reported to reduce autofluorescence from other sources, such as collagen, elastin, red blood cells, and general background fluorescence, they are not as effective at quenching these types of autofluorescence as for lipofuscin autofluorescence. However, they may improve background from a variety of sources in different experimental systems.
TrueBlack® IF Background Suppressor System (Cat. No. 230120) is a buffer system designed for optimal blocking of non-specific antibody binding as well as direct interaction of fluorescent dyes on antibodies with cells or tissue sections to eliminate non-specific staining for immunofluorescence (IF).
The TrueBlack® WB Blocking Buffer Kit (Cat. No. 23013) is a ready-to-use buffer system for blocking non-specific interactions of dye-labeled antibodies with proteins and the blotting membrane in fluorescence-based western blotting (WB).
