TRIS-buffered saline with Tween-20 (20x TBST) is used as a washing buffer for Western blot and other immunoassays, such as ELISA and dot blot assay. It acts as a pH stabilizer, which enable washing without disruption of antibody-antigen binding interactions. Tween 20 reduces nonspecific binding and protein: protein interactions. Each 10X TBST solution is ready to use upon dilution to the desired concentration.
