Properties
Description
Affinity-purified Concanavalin A (Con A) is immobilized on microplates for effective specific binding to glycoproteins, enzymes, and cell membranes, as well as for immunoassays. The unoccupied, charged groups are blocked by BSA to minimize non-specific interactions and reduce background.
