HSA-Palmitate Saturated Fatty Acid Complex (5 mM)

HSA-Palmitate saturated fatty acid complex is composed of palmitic acid (Cay-10006627) and fatty acid-free human serum albumin (HSA) at an approximately 6:1 molar ratio of palmitate:HSA. It has been 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. HSA/HSA-Fatty acids are suitable for use in short-term cell culture applications (acute treatment to 18 hours). however, for long-term applications (25+ hours) the product should be filter-sterilized using a 0. µm filter and sterile receptacle, which will not affect its performance. For best results, it is recommended that this product be used in conjunction with HSA control for HSA-fatty acid complexes (5 mM) (Cay-45019).
