Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is the liquid part of the blood depleted of the cellular fraction and coagulation factors. It is extracted after centrifugation of coagulated fetal bovine blood collected aseptically. Sterile FBS is obtained by triple filtration of 0.1µm.

FBS contains proteins and growth factors allowing maintenance and proliferation of eukaryote cells in vitro. It also contains attachment factors that create a “coating” effect on the plastic of the support, thus increasing cell adhesion. It is an essential product in cell culture because of the different components it provides.

FBS Premium is a selection of our best batches, chosen for their excellent endotoxin, hemoglobin and cell growth values on 4 cell lines, ensuring the success of your cell cultures. By ordering FBS Premium, our customers avoid time consuming batch testing and batch reservations.

All FBS batches are tested for Endotoxin and mycoplasma levels, specific viruses testing (BVD), hemoglobin and total protein rates and cell culture performance.
