General description
BSA is a known carrier of fatty acids (FA). Thus control over the specific FA′s for culture of cell lines is important, as different cell lines can be differentially sensitive to particular fatty acids. Fatty acid-free BSA thus is a useful tool for cell culture experiments where the specific fatty acid content must be tightly controlled, to allow researchers to use particular fatty acids specific to their cell lines. Fatty acid-free albumin also allows for optimal and maximum binding sites for adding specific fatty acids to use in cell culture. The use of FA-free BSA also mitigates concerns about endogenous FA′s potentially in non-FA-free BSA.
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a highly abundant plasma protein that assists in the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. BSA is used in many different applications, such as cell culture, immunochemistry, and protein quantitation.
This BSA product is specifically tested for very low FA content / fatty acid free status.
