Mouse serum
Our mouse serum is collected from healthy populations and purified. Mouse serum is very nutrient-rich and can be used as a supplement for cell culture media. In addition, mouse serum can be used, among other things, as a blocking agent in immunoassays or for autologous cell culture.

Mouse Serum as a Blocking Serum
Mouse serum is used in immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence to reduce nonspecific antibody binding and thereby minimize background signals. The serum proteins it contains occupy potential nonspecific binding sites in the tissue, thereby improving the specificity of the staining.
Mouse serum is particularly suitable as a blocking serum when the secondary antibody was produced in mice. In such cases, the choice of serum must be tailored to the primary and secondary antibodies used.
For immunostaining, we recommend a blocking solution containing up to 5% serum or a mixture of BSA and serum.
