For purification of this Albumin an extensive heat-shock/diafiltration method is used, which has been shown to bring more highly purified products than the standard process acc. to Cohn. The process is taking place in a closed system.

Molar extinction coefficient: 4,4x10⁴ L x mol^-1 x cm^-1 (acc. to 0,667 L x mol^-1 x cm^-1 for a 0,1 % solution).

Albumin pH 5.2 is basically suitable for all applications using albumins, e.g. for stabilisation of enzymes and antibodies, or as hapten carrier in immunoassays.The pH value of albumin pH 5.2 is close to its pI and the protein is only weakly charged. It is, therefore, particularly recommended for use in ELISA and Western blotting, since it may help in further reducing background signals.
