SourceUSDA origin

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is the most commonly used serum for cell-based applications which are an integral part of cell culture, vaccine development, and drug discovery as it provides the most nutrients for the widest range of cell types. FBS provides critical growth factors for optimal performance of cell cultures and cell growth.

FBS often contains the antibiotic tetracycline (TET) and researchers using very sensitive tet-inducible gene expression systems encounter problems with unintended expression as a result. Serum is tested for the presence of Chlortetracycline, Oxytetracycline and Tetracycline.

FAQs

Do you offer discounted or free samples of FBS for lot validation?

Yes, please contact our customer service team for details where we will work with you on your specifications. Please note we will only hold lots for 14 days.

What is the shelf-life of FBS?

Most FBS products that are stored appropriately have a 5-year shelf-life. Please refer to the expiration date noted on the product label and the Certificate of Analysis provided at time of purchase for FBS batches you received.

Do you provide other FBS products in addition to US and USDA origins?

Yes, in addition to US and USDA origin premium FBS, we offer a wide range of specialty serum including heat-inactivated, gamma-irradiated, and TET-free, and exosome-depleted FBS. For Australian or New Zealand FBS, please contact our customer service team at orders@captivatebio.com for more information.

What is the difference between US origin and USDA origin FBS?

USDA origin FBS is collected in countries which have been approved by the USDA for bovine serum importation into the United States. US origin FBS comes from USDA licensed abattoirs located entirely within the continental U.S. Certificates of Analysis are available with all FBS purchases. Supplementary Certificates of Origin are also available upon request.
