Serum
High Quality and Consistent Animal Sera for Optimal Cell Culture
Animal sera, whether from bovine, human or other animal source, provides all essential nutrients such as proteins, attachment factors, growth factors, amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, lipids and hormones for healthy cell culture growth. It also plays an essential role in regulating cell osmotic pressure and membrane permeability, serving as a carrier for enzymes, micronutrients, lipids and trace elements into the cell. Therefore, animal serum has been widely used as a nutrient boost for most cell
culture applications in the life sciences. However, if the serum is not obtained from a reliable source, contamination can pose a serious threat to successful cell culture. The varied nature of animal products is also a concern, which introduces challenges with variability, standardization, country of origin, and specifications.
To meet and exceed quality control standards for high performance in cell culture, all sera are tested by independent third-party laboratories for the presence of endotoxins, mycoplasma, bacteria, fungi and viruses; for total protein concentration, including hemoglobin content; and for the growth of cells. A certificate of analysis for each lot is available upon request.
MP Biomedicals animal sera ensures:
- High performance for broad cell types
- Low endotoxin levels
- Free of mycoplasma contamination
- Free of disease from animal sources
- Minimized lot-to-lot variability
- Sterility
- Country of origin and traceability

CELLect fetal bovine serum, gold, US origin
Superior fetal bovine serum for hybridoma cloning. Collected from a U.S.D.A. regulated and monitored abattoir via cardiac puncture. Sterilized via filtration through multiple 0.1 micron filters.

Bovine brain extract, 2.5 mL
Bovine Brain Extract (BBE) is made from fresh, unfrozen pituitary glands from young, healthy cattle less than 30 months old, born, raised and slaughtered in New Zealand from a USDA approved source.

Fetal bovine serum (FBS), South-American origin, 500 mL
Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is produced to the highest standards to ensure product performance and safety with minimal risk and lot-to-lot variability. MP Biomedicals system of vertical integration provides certainty of the South American origin and traceability of this FBS.

Serum, type AB, human, from male donors, 100 mL
Collected from type AB human blood. Used as a growth supplement for cell culture media and in other research applications. Proven to grow many human cell lines at a faster rate than mixed blood group serum

Bovine pituitary extract
Brain Pituitary Extract (BPE) is made from fresh, unfrozen pituitary glands from young, healthy cattle less than 30 months old, born, raised and slaughtered in New Zealand from a USDA approved source.
