| Description | Fetal Bovine Serum - Optima, Heat Inactivated Summary Fetal Bovine Serum Optima, Heat Inactivatedis a high-quality FBS grade low in endotoxin and hemoglobin It meets the requirements of most cell lines and is suitable for general applications. Why Use Fetal Bovine Serum - Optima? All lots of Fetal Bovine Serum Optima are sterility, virus, and performance tested, and include a biochemical profile. Lots are manufactured from USA origin material following stringent manufacturing and quality control procedures. Optima FBS is USDA-APHIS certified and is manufactured in our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility. Why Heat Inactivate Serum The objective of heat inactivation is to destroy complement activity in the serum without affecting the growth-promoting characteristics of the product. Removal of complement activity from the serum is not required for most cell cultures, but may be necessary for cultures that are sensitive to the complement activity. Since heat inactivation of the serum may, to some extent, decrease the growth performance properties of the Serum this procedure should only be performed if actually required for optimal cell growth. Researchers should evaluate the applicability of heat inactivation in regards to their own application. If heat inactivation is required, the process should be carefully controlled to avoid increased formation of crystalline and flocculent precipitates, gelling of serum proteins and excessive loss of growth performance. Significant damage to serum can occur when it is subjected to higher than required temperatures or heated over extended lengths of time.
