Bovine Serum Albumin – TWEEN® 20 protocol
Bovine serum albumin (also known as BSA) is a serum albumin protein derived from cows. It is often used as a protein concentration standard in lab experiments. Polysorbate 20 (TWEEN® 20) can increase the colloidal stability of proteins by interacting with the hydrophobic surface areas of proteins in order to minimize protein-protein interactions and thus protein aggregation.
