Best Answer

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is used in cell culture media. Animal cells require serum proteins in order to grow outside the body.

If we want to purify a specific protein from these cultured cells, the large amount of BSA present in the media poses a major problem in terms of contamination.

This is why BSA has to be separated from the cultured cells before beginning the protein separation process.
