Formulation: 1 mM γ-linolenate:0.17 mM BSA (6:1 γ-linolenate:BSA) in 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.4
Shelf life (days): 180
Notes: BSA-γ-linolenate polyunsaturated fatty acid complex is composed of γ-linolenic acid (Item No. 90220) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) at an approximately 6:1 molar ratio of γ-linolenate:BSA. The BSA/BSA-FAs are acceptable for use with short-term cell culture applications (acute treatment up 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. For best results, it is recommended that this product be used in conjunction with BSA control for BSA-fatty acid complexes (1 mM) (Item No. 34932).
