K-Block TM Recombinant, 100% Animal-free HAMA, RF and HA All-in-One Blocker
Meridian Bioscience’s newest solution, K-Block TM is a HAMA/RF/HA interference blocker that is 100% animal-free and designed for ELISA, chemiluminescent and lateral flow immunoassays. It is the first commercially available, animal-free heterophilic interference blocker that has proven high performance against similar animal-based blockers (Fig 2).
K-Block TM Cat# BN1200
PERFORMANCE DATA K-Block TM demonstrates superior HAMA and RF blocking over Mouse IgG and other commercial HAMA blockers.

Fig 2. A double mouse monoclonal sandwich assay was used to compare the performance of Meridian Bioscience’s K-Block ™ (100% animal free, recombinant blocker, MLS Cat No. BN1200) against serum-derived purified native mouse IgG and two competitor’s recombinant mouse IgG HAMA blockers. (A) Human HAMA-positive or (B) RF-positive serum was preincubated with the individual blockers for 20 minutes at room temperature. Blocker concentrations ranged from 0.0001-1.25 μ g/mL for the HAMA assay and 0.01-80 μ g/mL for the RF assay. The effectiveness of each blocker was determined by comparing the relative suppression of the HAMA signal to the signal of samples with no blocker. The results demonstrate that at higher concentrations K-Block is as effective as the other blockers and at lower concentrations, K-Block was more effective than native mouse IgG and the two competitor’s recombinant HAMA blockers.
