Heat shock treated Serum Albumin for diagnostics and further biomanufacturing
BSA is a serum albumin protein derived from bovine blood by a proprietary heat shock treatment. The plasma used for the process is collected as a byproduct of the meat industry.
As a result of the manufacturing process, our BSA meets and exceeds the exacting standards demanded by diagnostic, biopharmaceutical, and research customers worldwide.

Advantages at a glance
BSA plays a role in numerous biochemical applications, including ELISAs (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays), immunoblots, and immunohistochemistry. It is also used as a stabilizer and cell growth supplement in cell and microbial cultures. BSA also increases antibody functionality and longevity and serves as both a standard in protein quantification and as stabilizing component in DNA blunt end and replacement assays.

BSA Fatty Acid Free (BSA-FAF) is an off-white, 98% minimum, lyophilized BSA powder, which has been adjusted to pH 7.0 and processed to be essentially free of fatty acids. It is used for immunodiagnostic assays such as EIA, RIA, and ELISA.

BSA-Protease Free (BSA-PF) is an off-white, 98% minimum, lyophilized BSA powder, which has been adjusted to pH 7.0 and processed to be essentially free of any detectable protease. It is suitable for diagnostic reagent manufacturing and used in immunodiagnostic assays such as EIA, RIA, and ELISA blocking systems.
Advantages at a glance
BSA Diagnostic Grade (BSA-DG) is designed to minimize analytes that cause background interference. It is highly suitable for sensitive immunoassays including ELISAs (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), immunoblots, and immunohistochemistry, and as a stabilizing agent for protein reagents.
