Fetal Bovine Serum, Embryonic Stem Cell Pre-tested (ES Cell FBS), is a specially-tested fetal bovine serum that ensures the maintenance of pluripotency and reduced differentiation of embryonic stem cells in culture. Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are particularly demanding cells, and it is crucial to keep them in their undifferentiated state.
Historically, ESC researchers had to laboriously screen several lots of serum to find one suitable for their cells. Capricorn Scientific™ offers ES Cell FBS to minimize the need for prescreening serum, saving time and money while ensuring that the serum used has been screened by experienced ES cell culturists. The screening includes growth promotion, colony morphology, and cytotoxicity.
ES Cell Pre-tested FBS is selected from the highest-quality Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) lots and pre-tested on murine embryonic stem cells. in the 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.
