FAQs
What is the difference between Research Grade and Clinical Grade FBS?
Research Grade FBS is designed for in vitro research applications and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the needs of scientific investigations. Clinical Grade FBS, on the other hand, is intended for use in clinical settings and must adhere to even stricter quality control measures to ensure safety and efficacy in human applications.
How should I store Fetal Bovine Serum?
Fetal Bovine Serum should be stored at -20°C or below to maintain its quality and effectiveness. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as this can degrade the serum’s performance. For long-term storage, it is recommended to aliquot the serum into smaller volumes to minimize the impact of repeated freezing and thawing.
Can Fetal Bovine Serum be used for all types of cell cultures?
While Fetal Bovine Serum is widely used in cell culture, its suitability can vary depending on the specific cell type and application. Some cell lines may require specialized serum or serum-free media. It is essential to consult the specific requirements of your cell culture protocol to determine the best serum to use.
