HSA Control for HSA-Fatty Acid Complexes (5 mM)

HSA control for HSA-fatty acid complexes (5 mM) is a fatty acid-free preparation of human serum albumin (HSA) intended for use as a control for HSA-fatty acid complexes containing 5 mM fatty acid (Item No. 45018). It can be used as a control for experiments using HSA-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 The HSA/HSA-FAs 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.
