Fetal Bovine SerumThe value lies in the naturalness and versatility of its ingredients, and the various substances it contains can simulate the microenvironment of cell growth in the body.

in useFetal Bovine SerumWhen doing so, please pay attention to the following:

Different species and types of cells have varying sensitivities to serum batches. New batches of serum must undergo batch screening to retain qualified batches.

Avoid repeated freezing and thawing: Serum can be stored stably in a frozen state, but repeated freezing and thawing can lead to a decrease in its quality. Therefore, it is recommended to divide it into small portions for use.

Aseptic operation: When processing fetal bovine serum, it is important to ensure a clean operating environment and avoid contamination. Use aseptic techniques and tools to avoid the introduction of bacteria, fungi, or other contaminants.

Heat inactivation treatment: Unless there are special requirements for the experiment, it is generally not necessary to perform heat inactivation treatment on the serum. Because high-temperature treatment can affect the quality of serum and even cause a decrease in cell growth rate.

When selecting fetal bovine serum, the following factors should be considered:

Cell type: Different cells have different requirements for the quality of serum. For example, stem cells are picky about serum quality and need to use premium fetal bovine serum; However, tumor cell lines have lower requirements for serum, and ordinary imported fetal bovine serum can meet their nutritional needs.

Experimental requirements: Select the appropriate serum type based on the specific needs of the experiment. For example, when conducting immunological research, it may be necessary to choose heat inactivated serum.

Brand and source: Famous brands usually have strict quality control and stable and reliable serum quality.
