Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is the liquid part of blood that remains after the cellular fraction and coagulation factors have been removed. It is extracted by centrifuging aseptically collected, coagulated fetal bovine blood. Sterile FBS is obtained through triple filtration at 0.1µm.
FBS contains proteins and growth factors that support the maintenance and proliferation of eukaryotic cells in vitro. It also includes attachment factors that create a “coating” effect on plastic surfaces, enhancing cell adhesion. These components make FBS essential in cell culture.
All FBS batches are tested for endotoxin and mycoplasma levels, specific viruses (BVD), hemoglobin, total protein content, and cell culture performance.
