BSA is a highly purified, lyophilized albumin, suitable for Westerns, enzyme systems, protein standards, hybridizations and as a protease-sensitive immunoassays. It is also perfectly suitable as a nutrient in cell culture media, with low interference and backgrounds and is ideal for most standard molecular biology experiments.
| CAS Number | 9048-46-8 |
| Solubility (25°C) | Water ≥ 40 mg/mL |
| Storage | 2-8°C, protect from light, dry, sealed |
| Species | Mouse | Rat | Rabbit | Guinea pig | Hamster | Dog |
| Weight (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
| Body Surface Area (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
| Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.

| Avidin (from egg white)
Avidin is homotetrameric protein (68kDa) that is obtained from egg whites. Avidin forms an extremely strong complex with d-biotin (Kd ~ 10-15). This activity has made both avidin and biotin extremely useful labels in immunochemical methods of detection and quantitation. |
| Polyvinylpyrrolidone
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, Polyvidone, Povidone) is an inert, water-soluble, non-toxic, temperature-resistant, ph-stable, biocompatible, biodegradable polymer that helps encapsulate and meet the needs of hydrophilic and lipopphilic drugs. Polyvinylpyrrolidone has been widely tested and used as an effective wound healing promoter. |
