Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), Dialyzed, is suitable for special studies involving nutritional parameters and applications where small molecules may interfere. The manufacturing process significantly reduces the content of disruptive molecules, like hormones, amino acids, and cytokines.
The FBS Dialyzed is produced with a 10 kDa cut-off, making it optimally suitable for proteomics and mitochondrial function analysis. Furthermore, FBS Dialyzed is suitable for studies involving nutritional parameters or the incorporation of labeled material. Whole serum cannot be used for these applications as they require the precise removal of certain constituents. The most common method for removing these constituents is the dialysis of whole serum.
FBS, also fetal calf serum (FCS), is the most frequently utilized supplement in cell culture media. It improves various cell culture applications through its high levels of embryonic growth-promoting factors, which are essential for successful cell culturing. Further, FBS contains various small molecules, such as amino acids, sugars, lipids, and hormones. FBS is the blood component obtained after coagulation and removal of cellular components.
This unique and comprehensive mix makes FBS one of the most essential supplements for supporting cell growth and proliferation for in vitro cell culture. The fetal bovine serum for cell culture supports most cell lines and undergoes strict quality controls. This product is collected in South America.
