Pierce™ Albumin Depletion Kit improves serum component analysis by rapidly removing abundant albumin protein from serum samples. The albumin depletion resin provided in the kit is a high capacity, immobilised Cibacron Blue dye agarose resin, which binds a variety of species-specific albumins.

• Improves performance and eases processing of multiple samples
• Can be adapted to larger or smaller columns or 96-well filter plates
• Removing excess albumin facilitates analysis of low-abundance serum proteins
• Binding capacity of 2 mg of human serum albumin (HSA) for 200 µl resin

Each aliquot of 200 µl settled resin can process 5 to 50 µl of serum sample in less than 10 minutes by low-speed centrifugation using the Pierce™ spin columns provided in the kit. The kit has been optimised for human serum albumin (HSA), but also effectively binds swine, sheep and rabbit serum albumin. With modification of the binding buffer, Pierce™ albumin depletion resin can bind bovine, calf, goat and rat albumin; however, this product is not suitable for mouse albumin.
