Bovine Serum Albumin - Sulfhydryl Blocked now available from Lee Biosolutions

September 14, 2006; ST. LOUIS – Sulfhydryl blocked bovine serum albumin is now available to the clinical research community from Lee Biosolutions, at LeeBio.com.

Serum albumin is the most abundant protein in the circulatory system and contributes 80% to colloid osmotic blood pressure. It is known to be chiefly responsible for the maintenance of blood pH. Albumin is essential for maintaining the osmotic pressure needed for proper distribution of body fluids between intravascular compartments and body tissues.

Lee Biosolutions President Burton Lee expects the product to be popular among ELISA kit manufacturers and other researchers working in the field of immunodiagnostics.

“We introduce new products on a regular basis in response to our customers’ requests and industry trends that we identify,” Lee said. “Customers who already know our products for quality, purity and consistency look to us at the onset of their research to provide the biomaterials critical to the work they do.”

Lee Biosolutions’ sulfhydryl blocked bovine serum albumin blocks free thiol groups to provide a high monomer albumin with minimum polymerization upon storage, and is sterile filtered. It can be used where stable primary standards are necessary, and for immunodiagnostic assays such as EIA, RIA and ELISA. It is free of reactive Sulfhydryl groups, protease, igG and all interfering immunoglobulins.

The bovine serum albumin is also low in calcium, sodium and chloride content. It is available as a highly soluble, crystalline powder that forms a clear, particle-free solution with water.

Lee Biosolutions is a leader in the biomaterials industry by providing the high quality products to clinical labs and researchers around the world, developing tomorrow’s cures. The company has provided the materials used in a number of high profile biomarker studies.
