Cayman BSA-cis-Parinarate Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Complex (1 mm), 5 mL

Product Description

BSA-cis-parinarate polyunsaturated fatty acid complex is composed of cis-parinaric acid (Item No. 71430) and fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin (BSA) at an approximately 6:1 molar ratio of cis-parinarate:BSA. 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.^1,2,3 Once released into cell culture media, cis-parinaric acid displays excitation/emission maxima of 320/432 nm, respectively, and can be used to measure phospholipase and lipase activity and as an indicator of lipid peroxidation.^4,5,6,7,8 BSA/BSA-Fatty acids are suitable for use in short-term cell culture applications (acute treatment to 18 hours); however, for long-term applications (25+ hours) the product should be filter-sterilized using a 0.2 µM filter and sterile receptacle, which will not affect its performance. For best results, it is recommended that this product be used in conjunction with BSA control for BSA-fatty acid complexes (1 mm) (Item No. 34932).
