Fetal Bovine Serum

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

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a widely used cell culture supplement that provides essential proteins, hormones, and growth factors. These components support cell attachment, proliferation, and viability across a broad range of mammalian cell types and experimental applications.

Strict processing conditions help maintain the quality, consistency, and reproducibility of this sterile serum. Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) also supports applications in microbiology and immunology. In addition, it can act as a blocking agent in immunoassays, including ELISA and Western blot.
