BSA-alpha-Eleostearate Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Complex (1 mM)

BSA-alpha-eleostearate polyunsaturated fatty acid complex (1 mM) is composed of alpha-eleostearic acid (alpha-ESA), also known as 9(Z),11(E),13(E)-octadecatrienoic acid (Cay10008349), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) at an approximately 6:1 molar ratio of alpha-eleostearate:BSA. It can be used for efficient fatty acid delivery to cells in culture for the purpose of monitoring fatty acid oxidation or similar processes in various cellular metabolic studies. The BSA/BSA-FAs are acceptable for use with short-term cell culture applications (acute treatment to 18 hours), however, for long-term applications (25+ hours) the product can/should be filter sterilized using a 0.2 µm filter and sterile receptacle without affecting the performance. For best results, it is recommended that this product be used in conjunction with BSA control for BSA-fatty acid complexes (1 mM) (Cay34932).
