Fetal Bovine Serum

Sterile nutrient-rich serum for cell culture, microbiology, and immunoassays.

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is the most widely used supplement in cell culture, providing essential proteins, hormones, and growth factors that support cell attachment, proliferation, and viability. Due to its rich composition, FBS is suitable for a wide range of mammalian cell types and experimental applications.

This sterile, high-quality serum is processed under strict conditions to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility. Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is also employed in microbiology and immunology, as well as a blocking agent in immunoassays such as ELISA and Western blot. Heat-inactivated and non-inactivated formats are available for flexible use in laboratory workflows.
