What is Gamma Irradiation?

Gamma irradiation is a sterilization method that uses high-energy gamma rays to eliminate pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi from biological products like FBS.

The gamma rays are typically emitted from a radioactive source, like Cobalt-60 (a radioactive isotope of cobalt), to eradicate a wide range of pathogens from biological products such as Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). These gamma rays disrupt the DNA and cellular structures of pathogens, achieving sterilization without raising the temperature of the serum so that delicate proteins, growth factors, and other bioactive components are preserved. This means that, unlike chemical or heat-based sterilization methods, gamma irradiation maintains the biochemical integrity of the FBS, ensuring it remains suitable for sensitive applications such as cell culture, virology studies, and pharmaceutical development.

Gamma irradiation enhances the safety and integrity of fetal bovine serum without altering its essential properties, making it a trusted choice in scientific research.

Benefits of Gamma Irradiation in FBS Production:

➤ Pathogen Elimination: Gamma rays destroy harmful microorganisms, providing a safer product.

➤ Sterility Assurance: Helps to maintain sterility throughout the production and storage process, reducing contamination risks.

➤ Enhanced Consistency: Results in more uniform batches of FBS, improving experimental reliability by reducing variability between batches.

➤ Prolonged Shelf Life: FBS treated with gamma irradiation could offer a longer shelf life, reducing waste and ensuring a stable supply.

➤ Compliance with Regulatory Standards: Gamma irradiation ensures that the serum meets industry safety regulations and guidelines (25-40kGy).

➤ Process can remove up to 6 logs of many contaminating pathogens.

By offering gamma irradiation treatment, SeraPrime ensures that our FBS and your scientific requirements meet the stringent demands of modern research, offering a consistent, sterile, and reliable product. This method is crucial for studies that require the highest level of sterility and product integrity.
