HSA Fatty Acid Free, 50 g

HSA fraction V, fatty acid-free, lyophilised

Fraction V (fractionation according to Cohen)

Albumins are monomeric proteins found in body fluids and tissues. Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma with a molecular weight of about 66.5 kDa.

 
Composition of human serum albumin

Human serum albumin lyophilised powder is > 98% pure according to agarose gel electrophoresis.

Human Serum Albumin 20% solution is prepared in physiological sodium chloride as a sterile solution.

 
Application and properties of HSA

Due to the free hydrophobic regions, albumin is used to solubilise lipids and stabilise other proteins such as growth factors in tissue culture applications. Albumin has a low molecular weight, is readily soluble in water (50 mg / ml) and contains an excess of acidic amino acids.
