Anti-Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) Antibody

This polyclonal primary antibody from Antibodies.com specifically recognizes Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), the widely studied serum carrier protein used as a blocking agent, stabilizer, and conjugation carrier in life science research. Raised in rabbit and supplied as 1 mL of unconjugated, delipidated serum, the reagent supports ELISA, immunoprecipitation (IP), and western blot workflows in immunology, biochemistry, and proteomics laboratories.

The unconjugated format allows straightforward labeling with HRP, biotin, or fluorescent reporters depending on the downstream application. Polyclonal reactivity enables recognition of multiple epitopes on the BSA molecule, which can strengthen western blot signal and improve capture efficiency during immunoprecipitation. Typical research uses include monitoring residual BSA contamination in cell culture media, characterizing BSA-protein conjugates, and serving as a positive control when probing albumin-rich samples or BSA-conjugated antigens.

Storage and handling: the vial should be refrigerated between uses, and the contents aliquoted to limit freeze-thaw cycles that may compromise polyclonal antibody activity. The product is supplied as 1 mL of liquid antibody in a vial, intended for research use only.
