Human Serum Albumin

Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in human plasma. It is produced in the liver and has a molecular mass of 66.5 kDa.

Due to unique binding properties, HSA can be used in cell culture as carrier protein or in immunoassays as blocking reagent.

SEQENS IVD manufactures highly purified Human Serum Albumin (HSA) obtained by a proprietary Heat-Shock method and especially developed for IVD applications. It has low content in Vitamin D and folate.
