Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) South America, Dialysed – S181D
Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) South America, Dialysed – S181D
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.
The dialysis reduces the concentration of free low molecular weight components such as nucleotides, amino acids, hormones and ions. The dialyzed FBS is recommended for studies with low concentrations of small molecules needs.
All FBS batches are tested for endotoxin and mycoplasma levels, specific viruses testing (BVD), hemoglobin and total protein rates and cell culture performance.
Origin: South America
The serum is collected or imported and treated in agreement with the European regulations.

Cell signaling and labeling reporter assays
Biowest use a dynamic filtration method to produce dialysed serum. The sera are dialysed using a 10 000 Da molecular weight cut-off membrane. Glucose levels are tested prior and after dialyse to check the efficiency of the treatment, and to ensure a rate of glucose < 5mg/dl
