Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of using BSA?

BSA offers several advantages:

  • Excellent protein stability
  • High solubility in aqueous solutions
  • Low interference in biological assays
  • Ability to bind lipids, hormones, and other molecules
  • Protects sensitive proteins and enzymes from degradation

How should BSA be stored?

Lyophilised BSA should typically be stored at 2–8°C in a dry environment. Once reconstituted, aliquoting and freezing at -20°C or below is often recommended to minimise repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Always follow the storage recommendations provided on the product datasheet or certificate of analysis.
