Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a protein derived from bovine serum. BSA is often used in ELISAs, cell and microbial cultures, and DNA digestion.
Features and Specifications:
• Lyophilized powder, low endotoxin, low bioburden, low IgG
• Protease level below sensitivity limit 0.005 U/mg
• For use in RIA, ELISA and immunoblots, ideal blocking agent that minimizes non-specific binding, sustains cell growth without toxic effect, stabilizes media supplements.

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a protein derived from bovine serum. BSA is often used in ELISAs, cell and microbial cultures, and DNA digestion.
Manufacturing Highlights:
- Derived from the plasma of USDA-inspected healthy bovine animals of US origin.
- The highly controlled manufacturing process minimizes endotoxin, bioburden and IgG levels, reducing the risk of trace contaminants that may compromise assays or cell cultures.
- Material subjected to a temperature in excess of 65°C for at least 3 hours.
- Not comingled with any other material of animal origin.
- Complete traceability.
Product Specification:
- High purity, low interference, low background
- Typical purity levels exceed 98%
- High consistency
- Very low levels of endotoxin, bioburden, IgG, and enzyme/protease activity.
- Superior solubility/filterability for ease of use
- Designed for wide range of research applications
- All of Akron BSA’s can be used as protein standards, diluents, carrier proteins, protein stabilizers, molecular weight marker proteins, protein source in cell culture studies, and in vaccine preparations.
