Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a time tested, universal supplement used in cell culture. It provides many compounds that have been shown to satisfy specific metabolic requirements for the culture of cells, including hormones, growth factors, cell attachment factors, pH buffer, protease inhibitors, vitamins, minerals, lipids, and a variety of undefined components. Serum also protects against toxic effects associated with pH change, the presence of heavy metal ions, endotoxin, and proteolytic activity.

Sera Processing Using industry leading techniques, blood is aseptically collected at abattoirs, centrifuged to isolate the serum and immediately frozen for testing and further processing. The raw sera is then true pooled and is 0.2 micron sterile filtered with a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-3. Every lot then must pass USP <71> sterility testing. Additional testing includes endotoxin, hemoglobin, pH, osmolality, total protein and a biochemical profile that contains various metals, proteins, hormones and other metabolites.

Rabbit serum is a blood component that has had the red blood cells and clotting factors removed. It is primarily used in immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, ELISA assays, or other antibody-based applications as a blocking agent, or a diluent.

Sheep serum is a blood component that has had the red blood cells and clotting factors removed. It is primarily used in immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, ELISA assays or other antibody-based applications as a blocking agent, or a diluent.

Technical Advantage:  Can be autoclaved, unlike ampicillin Carbenicillin is a form of penicillin and is often used in place of ampicillin because it maintains stability after being autoclaved.  Like ampicillin, carbenicillin interferes with cell-wall synthesis of actively growing cells.

Complete Certificate of Analysis available for each production lot, along with full formulation information Manufactured in a facility that is FDA registered. This product is produced under high quality industry standards.
