Frequently Asked Questions
What is rHSA Economy grade?
Yeast-expressed rHSA at a cost-effective price for research and process development. Fully xeno-free. ≥96% purity, ≤5 EU/mg. Suitable for serum-free cell culture, buffer formulation and research where highest purity is not required.
Can rHSA Economy replace BSA?
Yes — direct xeno-free drop-in replacement for BSA in serum-free media. Identical carrier and stabilisation function. Typical concentration 0.5–10 g/L depending on application.
Is rHSA Economy xeno-free?
Yes — no animal-derived components in the final product. Full xeno-free documentation on request.
What is the difference between Economy and Premium?
Economy: ≥96% purity, ≤5 EU/mg — research and process development. Premium: ≥99%, ≤1 EU/mg — cell therapy formulation and GMP-adjacent. Both fully xeno-free yeast-expressed.
