Is there a way to remove bound antibodies from a surface without the use of harsh chemicals like Piranha?

27 August 2019 1 2K Report

I have gold coated quartz crystals that I want to bind with antibodies to perform an immunoassay. The crystals are quite expensive and I would like to be able to clean the surfaces and reuse them.

You can try stripping buffer. After seeing the composition, you would be able to understand the property of buffer.
