Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), Heat Inactivated, US Source/Origin, 500 mL

Alkali Scientific™ U.S. Source Fetal Bovine Serum is collected entirely from USDA licensed abattoirs and processed within the United States. Our serum is maintained at or below 40°F from collection through sterile bottling to ensure superior performance. Processed serum is thawed and then heated in a water bath at 56°C for 30 minutes. The serum is swirled every 10 minutes to ensure proper integration of concentrated protein. The “heat” inactivates the “complement” in the serum. Complement is defined as a series of 20 proteins produced by the liver which amplify the action of antibodies. It meets the highest industry standards for endotoxin and hemoglobin levels and supports the growth of the widest variety of cell lines.
