Recombinant Human Albumin (rHu Albumin) is an animal component-free and serum-free product that is structurally equivalent to native human serum albumin (HSA).

rHu Albumin is a non-glycosylated single-chain polypeptide with a molecular weight of ~66 kDa.  It is manufactured without the use of animal- or human-derived materials. Recombinant Human Albumin (rHu Albumin) is a well-defined, animal-free product that often outperforms plasma-derived HSA. It is frequently used for cell culture applications.

Advantages:

Plant based expression system
More homogeneous than HSA
Lack of toxicity and immunogenicity
Provides a well-defined and consistent medium
Animal- and virus-free and higher safety than HSA, no regulatory issues
Characteristics of Recombinant Human Albumin:

High purity and better batch consistency compared to FBS, BSA and plasma-derived HSA
Designed for cell culture applications
Cell culture and endotoxin tested
Long-term storage when handled and stored properly under defined conditions
Product Applications:

Maintains stem cells in an undifferentiated state
Ideally suited for use in cell culture media for Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO), hybridoma, VERO, stem cells and primary cells as a replacement for plasma-derived human albumin and bovine serum albumin.
Inhibition of protein aggregation
Cryopreservation supplement
