General description

Albumin, Bovine Serum, 30% Sterile-Filtered Aqueous Solution, Preservative-Free is used as a stabilizing agent and carrier protein.
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is an α-helical, non-glycosylated globular protein with 17-disulfide bonds. It is a member of the serum albumin family and has three domains with two sub-domains each.

Application

Albumin, Bovine Serum, 30% Sterile-Filtered Aqueous Solution, Preservative-Free has been used as a component of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer to obtain a HaloTag CRISPR clone using FACS.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a critical component of cell culture media. It is useful for embryonic stem cells (hESC) differentiation and helps to transport drugs, hormones, and fatty acids. BSA works as a blocking agent in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Physical form

Supplied as a 30% sterile-filtered solution in water, preservative-free.
