Thermo Fisher Scientific Expands Fetal Bovine Serum Product Line

science, has introduced Thermo Scientific HyClone Super Low IgG Fetal Bovine Serum,expanding the serum line to support applications requiring lower levels of specific antibody. Processed to substantially reduce IgG (via Protein G Chromatography) level, Thermo Scientific HyClone Super Low IgG Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is suitable for use in more exacting applications.

FBS contains natural levels of immunoglobulin (IgG) that may be too high for certain cell culture and protein purification applications. While serum from individual animals may be screened for low content and pooled to produce large batches of FBS with lower levels of IgG, such low IgG animals are scarce and the screening and collection process is logistically challenging. Even naturally occurring low levels of IgG may still be too high for certain applications.

HyClone Super Low IgG FBS performance is equivalent to non-processed FBS and is suitable for applications requiring lower levels of specific antibody, such as propagation of bovine viruses and monoclonal antibody production.
