Product Overview
Albumin, bovine, fraction V BAKER™ is a highly purified protein derived from bovine serum, widely recognized for its exceptional stability and versatility in laboratory applications. This biochemical-grade albumin is processed through fraction V purification, ensuring minimal contamination and high batch-to-batch consistency. Its low endotoxin levels make it suitable for sensitive applications where purity is critical. The powder form allows for easy reconstitution in aqueous solutions, maintaining functional integrity across a broad pH and temperature range. Commonly utilized in cell culture media as a nutrient supplement, it also serves as a blocking agent in immunoassays to reduce non-specific binding. Its ability to stabilize enzymes and other proteins during storage or experimental procedures further enhances its utility. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international standards, ensuring reliable performance in demanding research environments. Whether used in molecular biology, biochemistry, or diagnostic assays, this bovine albumin delivers consistent results with minimal interference, making it a staple in laboratories worldwide.
FAQs
1. What is the recommended storage condition for bovine albumin fraction V?
Store the unopened container at 2-8°C in a dry environment. After reconstitution, aliquot and freeze at -20°C for long-term storage to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
2. Is this albumin compatible with cell culture applications?
Yes, this fraction V bovine albumin is suitable for cell culture as it provides essential nutrients and helps maintain osmotic balance. Ensure proper sterilization before use.
3. Are there any known contaminants in this product?
The product is tested for low endotoxin levels and is free from detectable proteases, nucleases, and other common contaminants that could interfere with experiments.
4. Can this albumin be used as a substitute for human serum albumin in experiments?
While bovine albumin shares structural similarities with human serum albumin, functional differences may exist. Always validate compatibility with your specific assay or application.
5. How should I reconstitute the powder form?
Dissolve the powder in sterile deionized water or a suitable buffer (e.g., PBS) to the desired concentration. Avoid vigorous mixing to prevent denaturation.
