Description

Hemopexin is a vital plasma glycoprotein that binds free heme with high affinity, playing a crucial role in iron metabolism and protecting against oxidative stress. Its primary commercial value lies in its use as a high-purity biochemical reagent and a critical component in advanced life science research and diagnostic applications. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of biopharmaceutical development, clinical diagnostics, and hematological studies.

Application

• Biopharmaceutical Research: Used as a key reagent in the study of heme metabolism, oxidative stress pathways, and inflammatory responses for drug discovery.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: Serves as a critical component or calibrator in immunoassays and diagnostic kits designed to measure heme or hemopexin levels in clinical samples.
• Cell Culture & Biochemistry: Employed in specialized cell culture media and biochemical assays to investigate iron transport and cellular protection mechanisms.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a purified protein standard for quality control in the production of therapeutic plasma products and related biologics.
• Academic Research: Fundamental tool for universities and research institutes studying hematology, toxicology, and protein-ligand interactions.

Quality Control

Our Hemopexin is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot is characterized for identity, purity, and functional integrity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by SDS-PAGE and HPLC), endotoxin levels, and biological activity is provided with every shipment to support your regulatory and research requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture absorption. Aliquot into working volumes upon first use to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
