VBSo (without Ca and Mg) - 250ml

Product Description

VBS^o is like the traditional buffer used in complement assays (GVB^o) but it lacks the carrier protein gelatin often used in these assays.  GVB may be replaced with VBS if gelatin is undesirable or may interfere with the assays.  Ca⁺⁺ and Mg⁺⁺ may be added to VBS^o to make VBS⁺⁺ for classical pathway and lectin pathway assays.  MgEGTA may be added to VBS^o for alternative pathway assays.  EDTA may be added to VBS^o to prepare VBSE to inhibit complement activation.  VBS^o is also used for dilution of serum and other assay components in many complement assays especially in alternative pathway assays (Morgan, B.P. (2000; Dodds, A.W. and Sim, R.B. (1997)).
