Product Treatments

SeraPrime offers FBS products that have undergone additional treatment to support sensitive culture applications, available in any size.

Heat-Inactivated

Heat inactivation of serum is performed by raising the temperature of the serum to 56°C and maintaining that temperature for 30 minutes. Heat inactivation is the method of choice to destroy complement protein activity.

Gamma Irradiated

Gamma irradiation of serum is intended to assure the complete removal of a virus and or viral inactivation.

Specialty Serum

SeraPrime offers a selection of serum products designed for specialty applications and sensitive cell cultures, including stem cell research, cancer research, reporter assays, immunoassays, and more.

Charcoal-Stripped

Charcoal and dextran are commonly used to remove hormones that can affect cell culture growth; growth assays using Vero cells.

Exosome-Depleted

Depleted of 2:90% of endogenous exosomes and is intended for use in cell culture exosome isolation assays.

For researchers who are interested in isolating exosomes from cultured cells without the complication of bovine exosomes that are present in standard FBS.

Lipid-Depleted

Lipid-depleted FBS reduces the Lipid-Depleted concentration of lipids (free fatty acids).

For research applications where the normal concentration of lipids may interfere with cell growth.

TET-Free

Does not contain trace levels of tetracycline (or its derivatives) which have been observed to interfere with proper regulation of TRE-controlled gene expression.

For researchers studying neuroscience, cancer research, drug screening, vaccine development, and gene editing.

Providing Quality and Transparency

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a vital component in the realm of biological research and biotechnology. Known for its rich nutritional profile and growth-promoting properties, FBS is crucial in various scientific applications. Understanding its uses, composition, and production process is essential for appreciating its significance in cell culture and related fields.

What is Fetal Bovine Serum?
Fetal Bovine Serum is a common supplement in cell culture media, derived from the blood of fetal cows. It is highly valued for its rich content of growth-promoting factors, hormones, and essential nutrients necessary for cell growth and development. FBS plays a critical role in various fields of biological research and biotechnology. It supports the growth and maintenance of cultured cells by providing the necessary environment for cell proliferation.

What is Fetal Bovine Serum used for?
Fetal Bovine Serum uses include the production of vaccines, the generation of recombinant proteins, and the facilitation of in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. Additionally, it is crucial in drug development and toxicity testing, making it an indispensable component in scientific research.

What is in Fetal Bovine Serum?
It contains a complex mixture of proteins, such as albumin and globulins, growth factors like IGF and FGF, various hormones, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, lipids, and cytokines. These components collectively provide the necessary environment for cell development and maintenance.
