Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is the most widely used growth supplement for cell culture media because of its high content of embryonic growth promoting factors. When used at appropriate concentrations it supplies many defined and undefined components that have been shown to satisfy specific metabolic requirements for the culture of cells
in vitro .
Sigma-Aldrich continues its commitment to the life science researcher by providing over 30 years of fetal bovine serum production and manufacturing. We offer a variety of origins with special treatments and specifications along with a dependable, consistent supply that is ISO certified quality from collection to finished product.
