Albumin is the most abundant protein present in plasma, so much so that alone it accounts for about two-thirds of the total protein content. This protein is synthesized by the liver and its main functions are: transporting metabolites (such as bilirubin, free fatty acids, thyroid hormones), maintaining oncotic pressure (essential for the distribution of fluids in the capillaries and tissues) and being used as a reserve of amino acids.

Press the bulb of the pipette and immerse the tip of the pipette in the collected sample, then release the bulb;
