Bovine Albumin ELISA kit

Albumin is the most predominant protein in serum of domestic animals and man. It serves several functions including the binding and transporting of fatty acids, hormones, and metal ions, the maintenance of osmotic pressure and pH, and binding of exogenous toxins and products of lipid oxidation (Bertucci, 2002). Bovine and human albumins are carbohydrate-free monomeric proteins composed of three homologous domains (Peters, 1985 and Sugio, 1999). Over time, development of large-scale purification methods of bovine albumin have translated those functions into diagnostic, cell culture, and microbiological applications, (Mannuzza 2002) allowing for numerous biochemical applications including ELISAs (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), immunoblots, and immunohistochemistry. Bovine serum albumin is also used as a nutrient in cell and microbial culture.

The Bovine Albumin ELISA kit can be used for the detection of bovine albumin (BSA) in serum, plasma, milk, colostrum, cell culture supernatant and other biological samples containing traces of BSA. This kit contains sufficient components to quantitate Bovine Albumin in up to 40 samples, tested in duplicate. The standard range is 0.69 – 500 ng/ml.

Catalog Number E11-113
