Low endotoxin BSA is particularly recommended for use in animal and insect cell culture and as a carrier protein for haptens.
BSA is obtained by a proprietary heat-shock method, designed to prevent the excessive use of denaturing organic solvents. It undergoes a thermal inactivation during 3 hours at 65ºC in order to inactivate potential viruses. Lyophilised BSA has been 0.2µm filtered prior to being freeze-dried.
