Description

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) represents the supplement of choice for cell biology, obtained through centrifugation of coagulated fetal blood in strictly controlled environments. This process allows the liquid component to be isolated, eliminating cellular elements and coagulation proteins, and then proceeding with sterilization through triple filtration at 0.1 µm.

Bio-mechanical functions and properties

The effectiveness of FBS lies in its complex blend of natural nutrients:

• Cellular Proliferation: Thanks to a high concentration of growth factors and systemic proteins, it ensures the metabolism and division of eukaryotic cell lines in vitro.
• Enhanced Adhesion: The presence of specific adhesion molecules facilitates the anchoring of cells to the plastic surfaces of the supports (flasks and plates), creating an ideal biological substrate for growth.
• Versatility: It is confirmed as an indispensable component for the success of heterogeneous experimental protocols.

Quality and Safety Standards

Each batch produced is subjected to a rigorous battery of biochemical and microbiological analyzes to ensure maximum purity:

1. Pathogen Screening: Verification of the absence of contamination by mycoplasmas and viral agents, with particular attention to the Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus (BVD).
2. Biochemical Parameters: Constant monitoring of endotoxin, hemoglobin and total protein profile levels.
3. Biological Validation: Direct performance tests on cell cultures to certify their ability to promote growth.
