HSA-Palmitate Saturated Fatty Acid Complex (1 mM)

HSA-Palmitate saturated fatty acid complex is composed of palmitic acid (Cay-10006627) and human serum albumin (HSA) at an approximately 6:1 molar ratio of palmitate:HSA. 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 HSA-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. µm filter and sterile receptacle without affecting the performance. For best results, it is recommended that this product be used in conjunction with HSA control for HSA-fatty acid complexes (1 mM) (Cay-43649).
