General description

The EmbryoMax ES Cell Qualified FBS is exclusively of US origin. Each lot is sterile filtered and mycoplasma, endotoxin, and virus tested. Additionally, each lot is prescreened for plating efficiency and maintenance of undifferentiated morphology of mouse embryonic stem cells. A Certificate of Analysis is available upon request for each lot of EmbryoMax ES Cell Qualified FBS.
Note: Precipitates may develop upon freezing and/or thawing of this product. If precipitates are present, filter product through a 0.2 micron filter. This occurrence does not impact product performance.
The maintanence, expansion, and assay of many stem cell and precursor cell cultures relies on media rich in a variety of factors, often supplied by fetal bovine serum (FBS).
