Learn how to use this product
Fetal bovine serum (FBS), IgG Depleted is a widely used serum in eukaryotic cell culture, generally as a supplement for growth media. FBS contains nutritional and embryonic growth-promoting factors essential for a successful cell culture. Further, FBS contains various small molecules, such as lipids, amino acids, hormones, and sugars.
FBS is the blood component obtained after coagulation and removal of cellular components. This unique and comprehensive mix makes FBS one of the most essential supplements for supporting cell growth and proliferation for in vitro cell culture.
The fetal bovine serum for cell culture supports most cell lines and undergoes strict quality controls. This product is collected in South America.
The specially treated FBS IgG depleted has a very low IgG antibody concentration and is particularly suitable for hybridoma cell culture. Thereby, the IgG-stripped FBS facilitates the purification of monoclonal antibodies.
The FBS is processed through protein A-Sepharose columns to deplete the IgG content below 5 µg/ml. This process is gentle to the product and ensures an unimpaired growth promotion.
