Albumin human recombinant, expressed in rice, lyophilized powder, cell culture tested, low endotoxin, =96% (Excised bands analyzed by MS to yield total albumin content, SDS-PAGE)

Synonym: Cellastim™, rHSA

CAS Number: 70024-90-7

MDL Number: MFCD00081418

Biochem/physiol Actions
Albumins are soluble monomeric proteins found in the body fluids and tissues of animals and in some plant seeds. Serum albumin functions as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones. Serum albumins are also vital in regulating the colloidal osmotic pressures of blood.

Features and Benefits
Cellastim™ is a well defined, animal-free recombinant human albumin (rHA). Designed for cell culture applications, Cellastim is a powerful media supplement that outperforms plasma-derived human albumin, bovine serum albumin, and other sources of recombinant human albumin. Cellastim delivers consistent performance, not the variability associated with hydrolysates and extracts. Cellastim is ideally suited for use in cell culture media for Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO), hybridoma, VERO, stem cells and primary cells.
