Concentrated solutions of amino acids, vitamins or non essential amino acids can be added to a basal medium to enrich it and the resulting medium used as a classical MEM or BME. The final concentration of the MEM or BME must be 1X.

Porcine serum in lymphocyte culture for chromosomal studies has been utilized and found to be adequate. Moreover, although not commonly used, it is said that the constituents of porcine and human blood are nearly the same. It has also been suggested that porcine serum could be used in setting up peripheral lymphocyte culture for karyotyping.

Rabbit serum is the liquid fraction of whole blood that is collected after the blood is allowed to clot; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances. Rabbit serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

Supplier: Biowest

Calf serum is the liquid fraction of whole blood that is collected after the blood is allowed to clot; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances. Calf serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

For immunohistochemistry applications, sheep serum is frequently used as a blocking solution. Using sheep serum is useful for blocking the background cross reactivity with immunoglobulins which are already present in the tissue. When used before application of the primary antibody, sheep serum can eliminate Fc receptor binding of the primary and secondary antibody.

Donor foal serum is the liquid fraction of whole blood that is collected after the blood is allowed to clot; it is the blood plasma with the fibrinogens removed. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances. Donor foal serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

Plasma provides a broad spectrum of macromolecules, carrier proteins for lipoid substances and trace elements, attachment and spreading factors, low molecular weight nutrients, and hormones and growth factors that promote cell growth. It is used as a component of bioassays, immunoassays or enzyme assays.

Phenol red is used as a pH indicator in cell culture. Its colour exhibits a gradual transition from yellow to red over the pH range 6,8 to 8,2. Above pH 8,2, phenol red turns a bright pink (fuchsia) colour.

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 0,1 µm.

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is commonly used in cell culture protocols, particularly where protein supplementation is necessary and the other components of serum are unwanted. In cell culture, its main role is as a carrier of small molecules. Because of its negative charge, BSA binds water, salts, fatty acids, vitamins and hormones, then carries these bound components between tissues and cells. The binding capacity also makes BSA an effective scavenger to remove toxic substances, including pyrogens, from the medium.

Goat serum is a blood derived product collected from healthy non immunised animals.

Supplier: Biowest

High quality, sterile filtered foetal bovine serum (FBS) derived exclusively from EU countries. Each manufactured batch is rigorously controlled, from the collection of serum through to final packaging.
