BSA Control for BSA-Fatty Acid Complexes (10 mM)

BSA control for BSA-fatty acid complexes (10 mM) is a fatty acid-free preparation of BSA intended for use as a control for BSA-fatty acid complexes containing 10 mM fatty acid (Item No. 44156). It can be used as a control for experiments using BSA-fatty acid complexes to deliver fatty acids to cells in culture for the purpose of monitoring fatty acid oxidation or similar processes in various cellular metabolic studies.^1,2,3 BSA/BSA-Fatty acids are suitable for use in short-term cell culture applications (acute treatment to 18 hours); however, for long-term applications (25+ hours) the product should be filter-sterilized using a 0.2 µm filter and sterile receptacle, which will not affect its performance.

WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
