FBS Superior stabil®
FBS Superior stabil® is a pre-tested, natural fetal bovine serum (FBS). This standardized FBS has minimal batch-to-batch variation of only +/- 10% and is characterized by stable cell growth and high reproducibility across every batch. You only need to test our FBS Superior stabil® once, saving you the time and effort of further batch testing. Due to the serum’s low batch-to-batch variability, the phenotype of your cells will not change significantly with any batch of our FBS Superior stabil®. FBS Superior stabil® is tested for viruses and mycoplasma and has a ultra low endotoxin content (< 1 EU/ml).
Properties
Minimal batch-to-batch variation - each batch varies by only 10%
Standardized FBS - only one batch test required
Ultra low endotoxin content < 1 EU/ml
High safety - tested for viruses and mycoplasma
Good to know
To simulate in vivo conditions for in vitro cell culture, serum is often added to the cell culture medium. Serum serves as a source of growth factors, lipids, hormones, and minerals for the cells. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is particularly rich in growth factors and contains few antibodies that could interfere with cell culture. This unique composition makes FBS one of the most important supplements for cell proliferation in in vitro cell culture.
Fetal bovine serum is naturally obtained as a byproduct of the meat and dairy industries, which is why its composition can vary from batch to batch. To ensure meaningful experimental results, it is important that the phenotype of the cells remains unchanged throughout the entire study.
