Donor Horse Serum has applications in cell culture studies as an alternative to bovine serum for growth factors and hormones, such as for the cultivation of hematopoietic stem cells and neuronal cells. It is also often used as a blocking agent in immunoassays. Donor Horse Serum contains more immunoglobulins than Fetal Bovine Serum and has increased protein content.
It is a cost-effective substitute for Fetal Bovine Serum. Donor Horse Serum involves a controlled collection of raw serum, as closed herds can be used. Donor horse serum, in contrast to slaughtered horses, exhibits a lower level of batch-to-batch variation and lower endotoxin content
