Bovine serum albumin (BSA)

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a protein derived from cow blood plasma. It is commonly used in laboratories for research and medical applications because it can stabilize enzymes and other proteins, prevent cell damage, and serve as a nutrient source in cell culture. BSA is known for its purity, safety, and ability to bind to various molecules, making it a versatile tool in biochemistry and biotechnology. Despite its origin from cows, BSA is highly purified and used in many scientific studies, diagnostics, and pharmaceutical formulations.
