Formulation: 0.17 mM BSA in 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.4
Shelf life (days): 365
Notes: BSA control for BSA-fatty acid complexes (1 mM) is a fatty acid-free preparation of BSA intended for use as a control for BSA-fatty acid complexes containing 1 mM fatty acid (Item Nos. 34931 / 34933). 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.{49451,49452,49456} The BSA/BSA-FAs are acceptable for use with short-term cell culture applications (acute treatment to 18 hours), however, for long-term applications (25+ hours) the product can/should be filter sterilized using a 0.2 µm filter and sterile receptacle without affecting the performance.
