Human Serum Albumin

Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is a vital component in various biological and research applications. Its unique properties and functions make it an indispensable reagent for many laboratories.

Key Features:

Abundant protein: The most abundant protein in human blood plasma.
Carrier molecule: Binds and transports various substances, including fatty acids, hormones, and vitamins.
Scavenger: Removes toxic substances, such as pyrogens, from the medium.
High solubility: Readily soluble in water and can be used as a stabilizer for other proteins.
Protein standard: Commonly used for protein calibration studies.

Applications:

Cell culture: Supplements media to provide essential nutrients and support cell growth.
Protein stabilization: Prevents aggregation and maintains protein activity.
Western blotting: Used as a blocking agent to reduce background noise.
ELISA: Improves assay sensitivity and specificity.
Drug delivery: Facilitates the distribution of drugs throughout the body.

Storage and Handling:

Store at -20°C for optimal stability.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Handle under aseptic conditions to prevent contamination.
