Invitrogen™ Recombinant Bovine Serum Albumin (rBSA), AOF

Recombinant BSA is a protein used to stabilize enzymes during long-term storage and prolonged enzymatic reactions. The presence of rBSA can enhance enzymatic efficiency in the presence of inhibitors (such as during PCR) and prevent the adhesion of enzymes to reaction tubes and tip surfaces.

Features of Invitrogen rBSA, AOF, include:

• Expressed in yeast—helps ensure correct protein folding and stability
• Animal origin-free (AOF)—suitable for applications requiring non-animal derived components
• RNase, DNase, and protease-free—helps prevent degradation of nucleic acids and proteins

Applications of Invitrogen rBSA, AOF, include:

• Enzyme stabilization—helps maintain enzyme activity during storage and prolonged enzymatic reactions
• PCR and RT-qPCR—helps protects DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases from sample-based inhibition, resulting in enhanced performance
• DNA digestion with restriction endonucleases—helps ensure enzyme stability during restriction digestion reaction
• ELISA—helps prevent non-specific binding and improve assay specificity
