Fetal Bovine Serum Fetal Bovine Serum (Premium)

AICON-BIO Premium Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a high-quality cell culture supplement designed for a broad range of mammalian cell culture applications. Sourced from healthy fetal bovines and processed under strict aseptic conditions, our Premium FBS undergoes triple 0.1 μm sterile filtration and rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistent performance, lot-to-lot reproducibility, and exceptional value for both basic research and specialty applications.

Each lot is tested for biochemical and hormonal profiles, mycoplasma, endotoxin, hemoglobin, and a comprehensive 9CFR virus panel, providing researchers with the confidence and consistency required for reliable cell culture results.

RECOMMENDED USE
FBS is typically added to basal cell culture medium at a concentration of 5–10% (v/v) to provide attachment factors, growth factors, hormones, carrier proteins, and other essential macromolecules required for healthy cell growth. Optimal concentration should be determined empirically for each specific cell line and application.

STORAGE & HANDLING

– Long-term storage: ≤ -20°C (recommended -80°C for extended shelf life)
– Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; aliquot upon first thaw
– Thaw at 2–8°C overnight or in a 37°C water bath with gentle agitation
– After thawing, store at 2–8°C for up to 4 weeks
– Heat inactivation (optional): 56°C for 30 minutes with gentle mixing every 10 minutes

SHIPPING
Shipped frozen on dry ice via FedEx overnight to ensure product integrity upon arrival.

REGULATORY & SAFETY
