Sera Pro offers special types of Serum: charcoal absorbed, delipidized, dialyzed, gamma irradiated, heat inactivated and gamma globulin reduced

  • Activated charcoal treated serum

     Fetal Bovine serum is heated in a water bth with dextran and activated charcoal. The
     activated charcoal, together with the substances bound to it, is then removed by
     centrifugation and filtration.

saline  solution until the glucose content is below 10 mg/100 ml.

  •  Gamma irradiated serum

     Serum is exposed to irradiation > 25 kGy

  • Heat inactivated serum

     Serum is heated for 30 min to 56 °C in a water bath under repeated gentle mixing.

  • Ultra low IgG serum

     The average IgG level in fetal bovine serum is in the range of 70 to 330 µg/ml. The IgG
     content in our Ultra low IgG serum is reduced by affinity chromatography (protein-G
     affinity column) to max. 5 µg/ml. The biological activity of serum is not affected.
