Serum is the blood component obtained after coagulation and removal of cellular components. Besides serum proteins it contains growth factors, amino acids and hormones, etc. This comprehensive mix makes serum one of the most important supplements for supporting cell growth and proliferation in vitro cell culture. Of special interest is fetal bovine serum (FBS). It is especially rich in growth factors and low in antibodies, which may influence the cell culture work.
Fetal Bovine Serum Charcoal Stripped is produced by filtering through an activated carbon absorbent filter resulting in reduced concentrations of steroid hormones such as estradiol, progesterone, cortisol, testosterone, T3 and T4 without nonspecific loss of other serum components. This product is useful for studying processes influenced by steroid hormones (estrogen stimulation, obesity process) and other research topics that benefit from reduced hormone levels such as certain types of viral infections.
