Albumin, bovine, RIA Grade, ≥98%
Albumin, Bovine
Application Notes
A fatty acid free bovine albumin powder designed for the most sensitive research and diagnostic applications. Manufactured by a process specifically designed to give consistently low levels of residual metabolites and enzymes. Especially suitable for RIA and enzyme kits as a protein base. Albumin is used to solubilize lipids, stabilize protein solutions, and is also used as a blocking agent in Western blots or ELISA applications. Globulin free albumins are suitable for use in applications where no other proteins should be present such as electrophoresis. Insulin RIA: 1 micro unit/gm T3 and T4 at or below detectable levels.
Usage Statement

Biochemical Physiological Actions | Certain conformational and primary-sequence epitopes of BSA are suspected allergens in human beef and milk allergies. Albumin binds water, Ca2+, Na+ and K+. Due to a hydrophobic cleft, albumin binds fatty acids, bilirubin, hormones and drugs. The main biological function of albumin is to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood and to a lesser degree to provide cellular nutrition. Human and bovine albumins contain 16% nitrogen and are often used as standards in protein calibration studies. |
