Albumin from Chicken Egg White (Ovalbumin) – Research Use Only

Albumin from Chicken Egg White (Ovalbumin) is a biotechnology-grade globular protein reagent supplied as a 250 mg lyophilized powder for research applications involving protein assays, blocking workflows, biochemical assay development, and protein structure-function studies. Ovalbumin is one of the most widely used model proteins in laboratory research due to its well-characterized structure, stability, and reproducible behavior in aqueous systems. This reagent is especially useful in workflows related to immunoassays, protein standards, enzyme studies, formulation testing, and molecular biology applications.

Scientific Overview

Ovalbumin is a well-characterized water-soluble globular protein commonly used as a model system in biochemical and molecular biology research. Its predictable behavior, defined molecular weight, and stability make it a widely used standard in experiments involving protein quantification, denaturation studies, folding analysis, and assay calibration.

In laboratory workflows, ovalbumin is frequently used in blocking solutions, protein standards, enzyme assays, immunological systems, and formulation testing. Because of its compatibility with a wide range of buffers and analytical platforms, it is especially useful for ELISA workflows, electrophoresis, spectrophotometric assays, and protein–protein interaction studies.

Applications

• Protein standards and assay calibration
• Blocking reagent in ELISA and immunoassay workflows
• Protein structure, folding, and denaturation studies
