Low Protease BSA is a highly purified, lyophilized powder. This product is processed to provide a minimum of 98% albumin and to be essentially free of Protease.  Applications include assays where the presence of proteases may affect results (e.g when testing for the breakdown or cleavage of a substrate / product).
