Description

General description

A very low endotoxin BSA powder which is particularly useful in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and vaccines. Manufactured by a proprietary heat-shock fractionation process, using caprylic acid as an albumin stabilizer. The manufacturing process includes steps to ensure low endotoxin and IgG levels.

Application

Probumin^® BSA products are fit for use as blockers, protein/antibody (conjugate) stabilizers, and in immunoassays (EIA, RIA and serology systems).

Features and Benefits

• High-quality and reliability. Assurance of consistency in performance and supply.
• Proprietary heat shock and cold solvent fractionation process optimizes the protein yield, purity, and efficacy of BSA. Large batch capacity.
• Safe serum sourcing from USDA-licensed facilities exclusively from U.S. cattle.
