BSA Bovine Serum Albumin protein

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized BSA in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O for 20 minutes at room temperature and at a concentration no greater than 200mg/ml.

Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca (2+), Na (+), K (+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc.

Lyophilized BSA although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored 2-8°C. Upon reconstitution BSA should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
