The aim of this survey is to better understand the applications that you use fetal bovine serum (FBS) for, the challenges you face, and what matters to you when selecting FBS. If you currently use FBS ...

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a time tested, universal supplement used in cell culture. It provides many compounds that have been shown to satisfy specific metabolic requirements for the culture of ...

Serum manufacturers evaluate serum quality by testing osmolality and total protein content, and checking the presence of common contaminants. Cell culture is indispensable in biological research, but ...

Cell culture usually involves the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS) to media despite there being very high levels of innate bovine extracellular vesicles in FBS, which can make downstream ...

GlucCell was specifically calibrated and designed for cell culture application. Figures 3 and 4 show the effect of various commercial media and FBS concentrations on the GlucCell glucose ...

Perhaps the biggest risk to scientists when it comes to poor quality FBS is compromised purity, which can lead to reduced efficacy and lack of reproducibility in cell culture experiments.

When compared to competing products, it shows superior performance with regard to morphology and maintenance of pluripotency. The stringency of this assay provides researchers with the highest quality ...

FBS isn’t the only serum that can be used to culture meat cells, but it is the most widely used, even among other cow-blood products. Jan van der Valk, a scientist in the department of animals ...
