Huzzah? LPA
Huzzah® LPA, Human Serum Albumin / Lyso Phosphatidic Acid Complex
Avanti’s new HSA lipid delivery system, Huzzah™, improves the cellular delivery of LPA through its conjugation with human serum albumin (HSA), a physiologically relevant carrier protein. This conjugate system eliminates the need for organic solvents, which are well-known to adversely affect viability and the phenotypic characteristics of cells.The Huzzah™ lipid delivery system is supplied as a lyophilized conjugate which can be directly and easily reconstituted in water or a buffer of choice and is ideal for studying the effects of poorly soluble bioactive molecules.Solubility: Reconstitute lyophilized conjugate in 5 mL of water or other aqueous buffer. This produces a stock solution of 120 - 200 μM LPA*. A short sonication may be necessary to ensure complete dissolution. If necessary, filter sterilize the reconstituted conjugate prior to use in cell culture applications.*Exact concentration will vary from batch to batch. Refer to label for exact product concentration upon reconstitution as determined by mass spectrometric analysis.
