Bovine serum albumin (BSA) For a 10% (100 mg/mL) stock solution of BSA, dissolve 1 g powdered Fraction V or molecular biology grade BSA in 10 mL of distilled H 2 O; to avoid clumping, dissolve by layering the powder on the surface of the liquid. Gently rock the capped tube until the BSA has dissolved completely. Do not stir.

How do you make 2 mg/mL BSA from powder?

Mix 50 μl of the BSA standard solution (2 mg/ml) with 950 μl of diluent and mix well to prepare a 0.1 mg/ml BSA standard solution. Prepare 2 sets of the dilutions of BSA standard solution as shown below 1.5 ml microtubes (7 types x 2 sets = 14 microtubes).

What are BSA standards?

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is the standard reference for total protein quantitation by colorimetric assays. Expedeon BSA standards are designed for serial dilution to generate accurate standard curves and are precisely formulated at 2mg/ml.

Is BSA soluble in water?

Albumins are readily soluble in water and can only be precipitated by high concentrations of neutral salts such as ammonium sulfate. Sigma tests the solubility of powdered BSA in deionized water at 40 mg/mL and obtains clear to very slightly hazy, faint yellow solutions.Mar 21, 1997

How do you calculate BSA stock volume?

One ml stock BSA solution contains 20 mg protein, so for this standard you will need a volume of (3 ÷ 20) x 1 ml, which is 0.15 ml (150 µl). A volume of 150 µl of 20 mg/ml BSA contains 3 mg of protein.Aug 4, 2004

Does BSA expire?

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN OR THERAPEUTIC USE. To effectively preserve the integrity of BSA, it should be stored at the recommended temperature and protected from light. For stability and optimal performance, this product should be stored at 2 to 8 C. Do not use after the expiration date.

Why is BSA used in cell culture?

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is commonly used in cell culture protocols, particularly where protein supplementation is necessary and the other serum components are unwanted. In cell culture, it acts as a small molecule carrier.

How do you make a 3% BSA solution?

To prepare a solution of 3% BSA in NPB, combine 10.5 mL of 1× NPB with 4.5 mL of 10% BSA in NPB for a total of 15 mL.

Can you filter BSA?

WHAT IS THE BEST FILTER TO USE ONCE A BSA STOCK SOLUTION IS MADE? A 0.2 µm filter is the best choice to reduce the potential for any bacterial contamination. With this filter size, a dilute solution should filter well. At high concentrations a filtration train is typically required to sterile filter the solution.

How long does BSA last in solution?

Stability. Lyophilized BSA although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored 2-8°C. Upon reconstitution BSA should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.

How long does BSA last in solution?

Lyophilized BSA although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored 2-8°C. Upon reconstitution BSA should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.

How do you make a solution?

The following steps describe the procedure for making a solution of a specific molarity from a pure, solid substance. First, weigh out the correct mass of solute. Dissolve the solute in water, keeping the volume less than the desired total volume of solution. Dilute the solution to the desired total volume of solution.

Do you need to wash after blocking?

Sufficient washing after the blocking step is usually performed in order to remove excess protein that may prevent detection of the target antigen. However, many researchers do not wash after the blocking step because they dilute their primary antibodies in their blocking buffer.

Is BSA stable in water?

SOLUBILITY / SOLUTION STABILITY: Albumins are readily soluble in water and can only be precipitated by high concentrations of neutral salts such as ammonium sulfate. The solution stability of BSA is very good (especially if the solutions are stored as frozen aliquots).

Does BSA go bad?

HELP– Is BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) stable at room temperature? The powder will be fine. It's much more important to keep it dry than to keep it cold. When it goes bad, it simply won't dissolve.

How do you dissolve BSA in water?

The best procedure for dissolving BSA is to “wet” the solution by layering it. This should begin by adding a layer of BSA into the mixing vessel followed by the water or buffer solution.

How do you dilute BSA standards?

Prepare BSA Standard working solution to 200 µg/ml by diluting 0.5 ml of BSA Standard in 4.5 ml of de-ionized water or the diluent.

What is stock solution?

posted on February 10, 2019. A stock or standard solution is a solution in which you accurately know its concentration. You can make stock solutions in the chemistry laboratory or buy from chemical manufacturers. Once you have a stock solution, you can prepare solutions of lower concentration by diluting the concentrated stock solution.

What does it mean to dilute a solution?

To dilute means to add a certain amount of solvent (water) to a certain amount of concentrated stock solution. If you add a certain amount of solvent to a certain amount of concentrated stock solution, you will notice that the amount of solute present in the stock solution is the same amount present in the dilute solution.

Is sulfuric acid more dense than water?

As you may know, sulfuric acid is much denser than water, so as you add it to water, its molecules are able to travel within and mix well with the water molecules. However, because water is less dense than sulfuric acid, if you add it to sulfuric acid, its molecules will create a barrier in which you have water on top and sulfuric acid below.
