BSA-Oleate monounsaturated fatty acid complex is composed of oleic acid (Item Nos. 90260 | 24659) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) at an approximately 6:1 molar ratio of oleate:BSA. It has been 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.1,2,3 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 fatty acid complexes (5 mM) (Item No. 29556).WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
