Egg Albumen Extra Pure is a high-grade laboratory reagent derived from the white of eggs, known for its excellent protein content and binding properties. It is commonly used in biochemical experiments, protein electrophoresis, microbiological media, and as a blocking agent in immunoassays like ELISA. Its purity ensures consistent results in sensitive lab procedures involving protein interactions, enzyme activity studies, and cell culture applications.

Description

Egg Albumen Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. Protein standard in biochemical assays:
    Used as a reference protein in studies like Bradford or Lowry protein assays.

  2. Surface-blocking agent in immunoassays (e.g., ELISA):
    Prevents non-specific binding by coating microtiter plates.

  3. Model protein for studying denaturation and coagulation:
    Ideal for thermal and chemical protein denaturation experiments.

  4. Electrophoresis and chromatography applications:
    Used in training and method validation for protein separation techniques.

Secondary Uses

  1. Film-forming agent in microbiological or pharmaceutical experiments:
    Forms a protein matrix in capsule coatings or microbiological media.

  2. Binder in histological sample preparation or slide mounting:
    Helps tissue sections adhere to microscope slides.

  3. Training aid in food science laboratories:
    Used to demonstrate protein foaming, emulsification, and coagulation.

  4. Teaching experiments on enzymatic digestion (e.g., pepsin/protease action):
    Serves as a natural substrate to show proteolytic activity.
