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.

Human serum 'off-the-clot' is processed from human blood that has been coagulation-induced. It is collected from volunteer donors.

Newborn Calf Serum (NBCS) originates from 3 to 10 day old calves. It is a high quality, cost effective replacement for Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and contains a somewhat higher proportion of proteins and immunoglobulin, but fewer growth factors. With proper cell adaptation, it has been shown to perform very well in cell culture applications where routine cell growth and cell culture maintenance is the objective.

Donkey serum may be used as a blocking agent and controls in immunoassays. For immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry, donkey serum was used between 5 to 20% as a blocking agent in various studies.

Supplier: Biowest

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.

FreeAdd 1X is a fully chemically defined substitute for animal serum. It provides the necessary nutritional support for cell growth, development and expression. It has been tested on a variety of cells and can be used in combination with basal medium to generate equal or even better cell culture performance.

Sterile filtered foetal bovine serum (FBS) derived from clotted whole blood aseptically collected from foetus via cardiac puncture. Each manufactured batch is rigorously controlled, from the collection of serum through to final packaging.

Supplier: Biowest

Guinea pig 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. Guinea pig serum is used as a blocking agent in immunoassays and controls.

Ham's F14 medium was developed from Ham's F12 medium, which was originally developed for the serum-free clonal growth of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, lung cells and mouse L-cells. Ham's F14 contains a double concentration of amino acids compared to the Ham's F12 medium. This product is also supplemented with calcium chloride and ascorbic acid.

CRML was originally formulated for promoting strain L (Earle) cells under serum-free conditions. These media are also known for its ability to sustain cloning of monkey kidney cells and for growth of many other mammalian cell lines when supplemented with horse or calf serum.

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.

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.

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.
