Canvax Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a high-quality, high-performance protein reagent derived from bovine serum and suitable for a wide range of biochemical and molecular biology applications. Known for its consistency, stability, and versatility, BSA is widely used as a stabilizer, blocking agent, and standard protein in life sciences.
It plays a crucial role in regulating osmotic pressure in blood and is often used in protein quantification assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), western blots, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and as a carrier protein in immunological applications.
Key Features
✅ High Purity and Stability
- Ensures minimal interference and high reproducibility across experiments
- Low endotoxin and low fatty acid content options available (upon request)
✅ Versatile Use Across Applications
- Effective as a blocking reagent in ELISA and western blot to prevent non-specific binding
- Suitable as a stabilizing agent in enzyme and antibody solutions
- Commonly used in protein standard calibration (e.g., Bradford assay)
✅ Multiple Formats for Workflow Flexibility
- Lyophilized BSA, pH ~7: Long shelf-life and easy reconstitution
- 30% Liquid BSA: Ready-to-use for routine lab applications
Use Cases
🧪 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays)
- Used as a blocking agent to prevent non-specific interactions
- Stabilizes enzyme-conjugated antibodies
🧬 Western Blot & Immunohistochemistry
