Product Specifications

Appearance

Clear amber liquid

Description

Serum is the blood component obtained after coagulation and removal of cellular components. Besides serum proteins it contains growth factors, amino acids and hormones, etc. This comprehensive mix makes serum one of the most important supplements for supporting cell growth and proliferation in vitro cell culture. Of special interest is fetal bovine serum (FBS). It is especially rich in growth factors and low in antibodies, which may influence the cell culture work.

Fetal bovine serum contains naturally huge amount of exosomes, carrying the potential risk to interfere with the exosomes secreted by the cells – a highly critical problem in exosome research. Our newly developed method to get rid of exosomes is efficient but gentle to other FBS components. In comparison with the non depleted FBS the cell culture performance is still outstanding.

Applications and Features

No time-consuming self-production needed anymore
Reduction of the risk of contamination
Each bottle with comparable quality
Each lot tested for exosome depletion
No impairment of important FBS ingredients

Storage and Shelf Life

Store at ≤-15 °C.

Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Preparation of aliquots recommended.

Once opened, store at +4 °C and use within 4–6 weeks.

Shipping conditions: Frozen (Dry ice)

Thawing: Overnight at +2 °C to +8 °C. Swirl gently to homogenize.

Quality Control

Only serum batches which pass our strict quality control are released for sale. Standard parameters which are determined include pH, osmolality, content of protein, albumin, IgG and hemoglobin, endotoxin level, sterility, mycoplasma detection and virus testing. The quality control for exosome-depleted FBS additionally includes exosome/Cd63 testing by an ELISA assay.
