FBS and Serum replacements
Classical Fetal Bovine Sera
- several origins (South America, USA, Australia, …)
- different treatments (i.e. tet-negative, ultra low IgG, heat-inactivated, dialyzed, delipidized, …)
Filtrated Bovine Serum, a cost effective alternative to FBS suitable for many cells types
FBS Gold, a solution of BSA solution has been added to enhance the stability and robustness
- reproducible enhanced growth properties
- eliminates batch-to-batch variation
FBS Supreme, single components naturally present in the serum are enriched in a higher quality leading to a more defined product
- batch validations are not anymore needed
FBS Active, 80% of the FBS is replaced by chemically defined components. The reproducibility of your cell culture experiments or processes can be improved tremendously.
Panexin Basic contains purified proteins, lipids, salts, amino acids, trace elements, hormones and a 3-dimensional substrate release system in an optimized fomulation
- for the cultivation of a variety of adherent and non-adherent cells
- useful to develop sensitive cell-based in vitro tests and co-culture procedures
Panexin NTA, fully defined serum substitute for the cultivation of adherent cells
Panexin NTS, fully defined serum substitute for cultivation of suspension cells
Panexin CD contains only chemically defined components for the cultivation of adherent and non-adherent cells
- highest reproducibility from lot to lot and simplified downstream processing
Human platelet lysate (hPL) is a xeno-free alternative to FBS as well as human serum for in vivo wound ealing and tissue repair, but also for the expansion of human cells in vitro.
- for different cell types (HEK-293, CHO, keratinocytes, Vero cells)
