Standard grade BSA is the ideal choice for most diagnostic and research applications including protease-sensitive immunoassays such as RIA, EIA, fluorescent and chemiluminescent assays; as a protein standard, diluent; as a protein, conjugate or enzyme stabiliser; for hybridisation; in insulin RIA.

BSA is obtained by a proprietary heat-shock method, designed to prevent the excessive use of denaturing organic solvents. It undergoes a thermal inactivation during 3 hours at 65°C in order to inactivate potential viruses. Lyophilised BSA has been 0.2µm filtered prior to being freeze-dried.

Bovine plasma used for the manufacture of this product is collected from French healthy cattle declared free from BSE disease in its clinical forms. It is sourced in EU-approved French slaughterhouses.
