Enhance growth of cells with U.S. sourced HyClone Characterized Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

• HyClone characterized fetal bovine serum (FBS) is sourced in the USA. Complete traceability is provided back to the original source, as certified by the International Serum Industry Association (ISIA)
• Additional traceability testing of premium HyClone fetal bovine serum is performed by our collaborator, Oritain
• It is low in antibodies and high in growth factors to support robust growth and division of cells, including embryonic stem cells

HyClone characterized fetal bovine serum (FBS) is produced using true pool technology, which minimizes bottle-to-bottle variability. This FBS product is filtered through three sequential 100 nm (0.1 µm) pore size-rated filters. Each lot of FBS is subjected to virus panel testing according to 9 CFR 113.53. HyClone characterized FBS is assayed for many components, including gamma globulin, glucose, and IgG.

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is frequently added to cell culture media to promote cell growth and division. Because of its high content of growth factors and other nutrients that meet the metabolic needs of eukaryotic cells, FBS serum is frequently used to grow mammalian cells including embryonic stem cells.
