Iron-Supplemented Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a premium cell culture supplement designed to provide both the essential nutrients of standard FBS and an added boost of iron. This unique formulation is sourced from bovine sources within the European Union, offering traceability, regulatory assurance, and a fortified nutrient profile to better support cell growth and metabolism.
Product Highlights:
Nutrient-Rich FBS: Supplies growth factors, hormones, and proteins critical for healthy cell culture.
European Origin: Obtained from cattle in the EU and produced under strict standards, ensuring consistency and compliance with regional regulations.
Fortified with Iron: Iron is supplied in a form readily available to cells, enhancing energy production, respiration, and proliferation. Transferrin helps ensure efficient cellular uptake.
Specialized Use: Developed for applications where increased iron availability supports optimal experimental outcomes.
Why Researchers Choose It
Supports Robust Growth: Extra iron helps meet the metabolic needs of fast dividing cells.
Efficient Nutrient Delivery: Transferrin bound iron provides targeted and biologically relevant supplementation.
Reliability and Consistency: EU-sourced products provide trusted quality and reproducibility in scientific research.
Key Benefits:
Optimized iron availability through controlled supplementation. Extensive quality testing for endotoxins, mycoplasma, and viruses. Suitable for cell lines with specific iron demands.
On Origin Considerations:
For some labs, the precise source of serum is a key factor due to institutional or regulatory requirements. While country of origin can be important, industry surveys suggest that most researchers ultimately prioritize quality, consistency, and safety testing over geographic sourcing.
In short: Iron-Supplemented FBS combines the trusted performance of traditional serum with enhanced iron delivery, making it an excellent choice for researchers looking to boost cell growth, ensure reproducibility, and work within strict regulatory frameworks.
Origin: Europe
The serum is collected or imported and treated in agreement with European regulations.
