Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in human blood. Due to its negative charge, HSA binds water, salts, fatty acids, vitamins, and hormones, carrying these bound components between tissues and cells. This binding capacity also makes HSA an effective scavenger for removing toxic substances, including pyrogens, from the medium.
Each batch is tested for sterility, endotoxin and hemoglobin levels, osmolality, and cell culture performance. Each human serum batch is screened for HIV Type 1 and 2 (HIV1/2), Hepatitis B (HBS), and Hepatitis C (HCV).
