Description | Why Use TET Tested Fetal Bovine Serum Heat Inactivated TET Tested Fetal Bovine Serum is specifically designed for use in tetracycline/tetracycline derivatives-regulated gene expression systems in cultured cells. The tetracycline and tetracycline derivative contents of high-quality FBS is measured, and only lots with undetectable levels are selected as TET Tested Fetal Bovine Serum All lots of TET Tested FBS are 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 the 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.
