Avoiding immunoassay interference requires blockers to be included in every immunoassay. Historically, animal-based interference blockers have been used to improve assay accuracy; however, they are susceptible to cross-reactivity with assay reagents, lot-to-lot variability, and supply shortages – as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meridian’s new animal-free commercial blockers, K-BlockTM and Mouse-FREE IgG, are the next-generation solution for blocking HAMA/RF/HA that overcomes the ethical concerns and supply problems in using animal-derived blockers.

In this webinar you will learn the advantages of using animal-free immunoassay blockers and their performance.
