As a natural product, fetal bovine serum contains a wide variety of biological molecules and compounds which can influence cell development.
- Sera is aseptically collected and processed in a cGMP facility
- Each batch of raw serum is screened for endotoxin, residual hemoglobin concentration, and microbiological quality before being used in production
- Premium FBS is sourced from U.S. herds
- Dialysed via a 10000 MW cutoff filter and dialysed against normal saline
This serum is dialysed against physiological saline to remove small (less than 10000 MW) potential contaminants while preserving the biological integrity of the final product. An extra filtration step of 0,1 micron further ensures purity.
Batches of raw serum are pooled and continuously mixed prior to filtration to ensure consistent quality throughout the entire lot. Final lots are tested for endotoxin, hemoglobin, pH, mycoplasma, and growth promotion. Biochemical assays and virus testing are also available upon request.
