Ultrapure Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA)

Description:
Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) has many uses as a carrier protein and as a stabilizing agent in enzymatic reactions. MCLAB’s Ultrapure BSA is a "non-acetylated" BSA, pure enough to use when DNA or RNA integrity is essential. It has been tested for DNase, RNase, endonuclease, protease, peroxidase, and alkaline phosphatase activity, and assayed for fluorescence background.

Application:

• Used as a blocking agent in Northern, Southern and dot blot hybridizations
• Added to buffers for nick translation, polymerase reactions and ligations
• Common additive for PCR amplifications, footprinting and gel shift assays
• Enhances enzyme activity in restriction digests

Concentration:
20 mg/ml

Recommended Storage Conditions:
BSA should be stored at –20°C. Do not store in a frost-free freezer.
