High-Quality Charcoal-Stripped Fetal Bovine Serum
Biowest offers premium charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum (FBS) specifically designed for applications requiring minimal hormonal interference. Our FBS is rigorously tested and quality-controlled to ensure optimal cell growth and performance.
Key Benefits:
- Reduced hormonal variability: Minimizes the influence of endogenous hormones on experimental outcomes.
- Proven performance: Supports a wide range of cell lines and experimental conditions.
- Stringent quality control: Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2012 standards.
- Versatility: Ideal for hormone-related studies, drug development, and cellular signaling research.
Ideal Applications:
- Hormone studies: Investigate the effects of specific hormones without interference.
- Cytotoxic drug response: Assess drug efficacy in hormone-responsive cells.
- Cellular signaling: Study signaling pathways influenced by hormones.
- Tumor cells: Research hormone-dependent cancers and their interactions.
Trust Biowest for your critical cell culture needs.
