Protease-free BSA is suitable for stabilising/enhancing diluent in enzyme systems, immunohaematology, RIA systems, blood banking reagent, blood banking reagents, binding and transport studies, as a protein base or filler, as a protein standard, in ELISA (blocks non-specific binding) and as a carrier protein for haptens.

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 ºC 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.
