Description

Calf Serum is a biological product derived from the blood of healthy, young bovines beyond the newborn stage. Distinct from Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and Newborn Calf Serum, Calf Serum offers a unique composition, making it a valuable alternative for various research applications. It is especially suited for use in cell culture media, where it provides essential nutrients and growth factors that support the proliferation and maintenance of a wide range of cell types. Rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and proteins, calf serum enhances cell culture environments by promoting cell attachment, growth, and differentiation. Its robust growth-promoting properties, albeit slightly less potent than those of FBS, make it an economical choice for routine cell culture work, particularly in less sensitive cell lines and for the production of viral vaccines. Calf serum undergoes rigorous testing and processing to ensure the highest quality and safety standards, including the removal of fibrin and other clotting factors. This serum is also subjected to viral and mycoplasma screening processes, as well as testing for endotoxin, hemoglobin, protein composition and more. Ideal for researchers seeking a cost-effective yet high-quality alternative to FBS or Newborn Calf Serum, Calf Serum provides a balance of performance and value. It is widely used in immunology, toxicology, and pharmacology studies, among other fields, facilitating advancements in scientific research and development.
