HyClone Iron-Supplemented Bovine Calf Serum, U.S. origin is collected by venipuncture from formula-fed veal calves, which produce exceptionally high levels of transferrin. This serum is carefully supplemented with iron to load serum transferrin levels to physiological levels. Bovine calf serum products , when supplemented, can provide three to four times as much available iron as FBS. In many applications, the performance of calf serum will equal or even surpass that of FBS.
Iron-supplemented Bovine Calf Serum, U.S. origin is filtered through sequential 100 nm (0.1 µm) pore size-rated filters. Before dispensing, each lot of serum is pooled using true pool technology to ensure uniformity and consistency between bottles.
Additional treatments available including heat-inactivation and irradiation. Additional testing, including EMEA-conforming testing, is also available.
