Advantages Compared to Higher-Grade FBS:
| Feature | Value Grade (This Product) | Premium or Certified Grades |
|---|---|---|
| Endotoxin Levels | ≤20 EU/mL (≤10 EU/mL routine) | ≤5 EU/mL or lower |
| Hemoglobin Levels | ≤25 mg/dL | ≤10 mg/dL |
| Applications | Routine research, robust cell lines | Sensitive applications (e.g., stem cell culture) |
| Cost | Budget-friendly | Higher cost due to enhanced purity |
While the Value-grade FBS is excellent for most cell culture needs, premium grades are preferred for sensitive or specialized applications, such as regenerative medicine or advanced therapeutic research.
Testing and Safety:
- Comprehensive Testing: Up to 30 quality tests, including:
- 9CFR virus testing for contaminants.
- Performance testing for consistent cell growth.
- USDA Safety Testing: Conducted for sera originating from Mexico and Australia to meet regulatory standards.
