Gamma irradiated FBS is sterile fetal bovine serum which is commonly used in vaccine and virus production.
- Sera is aseptically collected and processed in a cGMP facility
- Each batch of raw serum is screened for endotoxin, residual hemoglobin concentration, and microbiological quality before being used in production
- Batches of raw serum are pooled and continuously mixed prior to filtration to ensure consistent quality throughout the entire lot
- Final lots are tested for endotoxin, hemoglobin, pH, mycoplasma, and growth promotion. Biochemical assays and virus testing are also available upon request
- Gamma irradiation provides a method for complete viral and mycoplasma deactivation while maintaining the biological activity of the final product
- Gamma Irradiated FBS is sourced from US or Australian herds
Its use at specific concentrations provides many compounds that have been shown to satisfy specific metabolic requirements for the culture of cells, including various growth promoting factors, along with a variety of undefined components.
