Formulation: 1 mM linoleate:0.17 mM BSA in 150 mM sodium chloride
Shelf life (days): 365
Notes: BSA-linoleate ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid complex is composed of linoleic acid (Item Nos. 90150 / 90150.1 / 21909) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) at an approximately 6:1 molar ratio of linoleate:BSA. BSA-linoleate complexes can be used for efficient fatty acid delivery to cells in culture for the purpose of monitoring fatty acid oxidation or similar processes in various cellular metabolic studies.{58740,58741,58742} 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. 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).
