Product Description
Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a critical component in cell culture media, providing essential nutrients and growth factors necessary for the proliferation and maintenance of various cell types. Our Research Grade FBS, identified by the product code RM10409-500 ml, is sourced from Himedia and is designed to meet the stringent requirements of laboratory research.
This serum is ideal for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, cell culture, tissue engineering, and biopharmaceutical production. Its high quality ensures consistent performance, making it a reliable choice for researchers and educators alike.
One of the key advantages of our FBS is its research grade quality, which means it has been rigorously tested to ensure it meets the highest standards. This makes it suitable for use in sensitive and critical experiments where reliability and consistency are paramount.
Why is FBS essential for cell culture?
Fetal Bovine Serum is rich in proteins, hormones, growth factors, and other essential components that support cell growth and differentiation. It provides a complex mixture of nutrients that are not easily replicated by synthetic media, making it indispensable for many cell culture applications.
How to use FBS in your lab?
To use FBS effectively, it is important to follow proper handling and storage protocols. FBS should be stored at -20°C or below to maintain its quality. Before use, it should be thawed slowly in a refrigerator or at room temperature, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Once thawed, FBS can be aliquoted into smaller volumes to minimize the impact of repeated freezing and thawing.
What makes our FBS stand out?
Our FBS is sourced from healthy, disease-free animals and undergoes extensive testing to ensure it is free from contaminants such as mycoplasma, viruses, and endotoxins. This ensures that your cell cultures remain healthy and free from unwanted interferences.
