Prepared by heat shock treatment procedure. Useful for the preparation of protein and molecular weight standards, and as a protein base for sensitive diagnostic and research assays, such as RIA, ELISA, and vitamin assay. Material can also be used as an antigen carrier protein in immunological studies and monoclonal antibody production, and as a control protein for enzymatic assays, such as protease, perioxidase, phosphatase, or nuclease when determining the purity of reagent grade albumins.

Following reconstitution, store in the refrigerator (4°C). 0.1% NaN₃ may be added as a preservative. Stock solutions are stable for up to 3 months at 4°C.
