Recombinant Human Serum Albumin

XENO FREE, 99%+ rHSA

Albumin is a soluble, 66 kDa, unglycosylated monomeric protein. It is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma and functions as a carrier protein for fatty acids, steroids, hormones, growth factors, and trace minerals. It also functions to buffer pH, stabilize proteins and membranes, promote cell growth, maintain oncotic pressure, scavenge toxins, protect from cellular damage, enhance metal delivery or serve as a hydrophobic moiety. Human serum albumin (HSA) is used clinically to restore blood volume but also has numerous research and pre-clinical development applications.

HSA is a common ingredient in cell media formulations and has been successfully used for growing and storing cultured cells. Applications include in vitro fertilization, stem cell and cell therapies. It also has utility as an excipient in pre-clinical drug formulations, protein or small molecule delivery, antibody development, vaccine manufacturing, wound sealants, medical device coating, and nanoparticle delivery.

Recombinant HSA (rHSA; 800001) from Aspira Scientific is a highly pure, non-glycosylated single polypeptide product. Derived from rice grains, it does not utilize human, animal, or microorganism production systems. Thus, it is free of yeast, animal, and human byproducts and devoid of associated risks including host-specific immunological response, contaminating adventitious virus or transmissible spongi form encephalopathies.

The salient features of rHSA include:

• Higher Purity: 99%+ assay and ≤ 0.5 EU/mg endotoxin; reduced contaminants and impurities
• Higher Biological Activity: More results with less protein
• Regulatory Conscious: Plant-derived product; human-, animal-, virus-, prion-free product not derived from yeast; follows regulatory recommendations for animal-free components avoiding possible risks of xenogenic and allogenic pathogen cross-contaminations
• Convenient Format: Packaged in injectable vial for direct use; reconstitution and transfer under aseptic conditions
• Enhanced Performance: Well-defined batch consistency delivering enhanced performance and shortened verification time
• Exceptional Value: Ultra high purity meeting the most quality-demanding applications; competitively priced and available in commercial quantities (metric ton+), ideal for high volume applications

rHSA is your new DO-IT-ALL albumin to meet all your research needs!
