Biochem/physiol Actions

Fetal bovine serum(FBS) Superior is a South American source of FBS supplemented with various growth-promoting compounds to allow for a more consistent product. This supplementation can reduce or eliminate the need to test multiple batches on specific cell lines. FBS Superior can be used just like regular FBS, delivers nutrients, growth, and attachment factors, and protects cells from oxidative damage and apoptosis by mechanisms that are difficult to reproduce in serum-free media (SFM) systems.

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) comprises growth factors (GFs) and other elements that are required for the expansion, maintenance, attachment, and proliferation of adipose-derived stromal cells (ASC) in vitro.

General description

Fetal bovine serum (FBS), a traditional serum supplement, is used in animal cell culture media. It is obtained from the fetus of the cow.
