Product Name Albumin Standard (2 mg/mL BSA in PBS) for Protein Assays
Catalog No. PTR-HMM-0079
Description A precisely formulated bovine serum albumin standard solution at 2 mg/mL in phosphate-buffered saline, intended for the generation of protein assay standard curves in BCA, Bradford, and Lowry protein quantitation methods.
Intended Use Calibration of protein assay standard curves for accurate concentration determination of unknown protein samples.
Principle / Technology BSA serves as a reference protein with well-characterized behavior in colorimetric protein assays; the absorbance or color development produced by known BSA concentrations is used to construct a standard curve from which unknown sample concentrations are interpolated.
Detection Method Standards are used to generate calibration curves; unknown samples are quantified by interpolation from the standard curve
Sample Type Standards themselves are not biological samples; they are reference materials for assay calibration
Performance Range / Specifications 2 mg/mL stock solution; typical standard curve working range: 25–2000 μg/mL for BCA assay, 100–1500 μg/mL for Bradford assay
Sensitivity / LOD 2 mg/mL ± 2% assigned concentration verified by UV absorbance at 280 nm using the BSA extinction coefficient E1% = 6.6
Specificity The standard is BSA; for optimal accuracy when quantifying non-BSA proteins, a correction factor or a matched protein standard should be employed
Reaction Conditions / Protocol Dilute the 2 mg/mL stock to prepare a series of standards at appropriate concentrations for the specific protein assay being used; include a blank (0 μg/mL) for zero calibration
Components / Formulation Bovine serum albumin at 2 mg/mL in 0.9% NaCl, 0.05% sodium azide preservative, provided in 5 x 2 mL vials
Storage Conditions 2–8°C; after opening, the standard solution is stable for 6 months when stored at 2–8°C
Shelf Life 24 months from date of manufacture
Package Specifications 5 x 2 mL vials (10 mL total)
Product Form Ready-to-use liquid standard solution, clear and colorless to pale yellow
Quality Control BSA purity >98% by SDS-PAGE; endotoxin <1.0 EU/mg; concentration accuracy verified by amino acid analysis; standard curve linearity confirmed with BCA and Bradford assays
Key Features Ready-to-use format eliminates weighing and dissolution errors; long opened-vial stability reduces waste; ampoule or screw-cap vials minimize contamination risk
