Description
FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum), USDA Approved Origin is used as a supplement in classical cell culture media. USDA FBS both nourishes and protects the cells in a way that almost nothing else has been found to do.
Heat-inactivation of FBS is done under controlled conditions, heating at 56°C for 30 minutes. This treatment inactivates components in the complement system and other contaminants that may influence cell growth.
- USDA Approved Origin Grade.
- Bovine serum stimulates the cells to grow and multiply and helps to keep the cells normal and healthy over time.
- It is the incredible complexity of FBS’s molecular makeup that makes serum unique – and so valuable.
