Product Description and features This FBS Alternative is human platelet lysate based growth factor-rich Xeno-free Medium Supplement.
- Support cell growth better than FBS
- Xeno-free
- Virus-free
- Mycoplasma-free
- Lot-to-Lot Consistent
This human platelet lysate based growth factor-rich Xeno-free Medium Supplement is a superior alternative/replacement for FBS. The human platelets are collected at AABB accredited U.S. blood and plasma centers. Each donor is tested for infectious diseases using FDA approved methods for testing transfusable blood products. This product is manufactured using multiple donor units to create large batches (>100L) of consistent and reliable cytokine rich replacement for FBS.
This product is for research use only.

Quality Control
Each batch of FBS Alternative is extensively tested to ensure optimal growth of cells and lot consistency. It is sterile filtered through a 0.2µm filter and tested per USP guidelines for bacterial, fungal and mycoplasma contamination. The FBS Alternative is also tested for cell growth, pH, osmolality, endotoxin, protein content and metabolic panel.
Preparation Instructions
Add FBS Alternative to culture medium to a final concentration of 10% (v/v). It is recommended that the optimal concentration be determined for each cell line and/or application. Cells should be closely monitored during culture due to the increased proliferation rate compared to FBS.
Warning
This product contains human source material and should be handled with currently acceptable universal precautions for biological samples.
