BGBBlotting Grade Blocker
To make 5mg/ml BGB solution in popping buffer:•First wiight out 15mg of BGB poweder•Add 1.5 ml of 1x pop and mix by vortexing•Run through .2μM syringe filter using 3ml syringe.•Now store 5mg/ml BGB in 1x pop buffer (minus amount of protein that stuck to filter) at 3C.This should be good for few weeks.
