Origin
We offer several premium FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) products collected in approved abattoirs from herds in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Also, our regular FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) is collected in approved facilities from herds located in countries approved by the USDA for importation into the United States. In certain regions we also provide South America-sourced FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) manufactured at facilities approved by the appropriate local authorities.
Sterile Filtered
The raw serum is filtered through a series of three 0.1 micron sterilizing filters. Corning requires each serum lot to test negative for mycoplasma by two methods to qualify as product for our customers.
Low Endotoxin Levels (LAL) Limulus Amebocyte Lysate
Each lot is tested for bacterial endotoxin. Our premium grade FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) must meet a specification of ≤5 EU/mL and our regular grade FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) must meet a specification of ≤20EU/mL.
Low Hemoglobin Levels
A quantitative and colorimetric assay is performed to determine the residual hemoglobin concentration in each product lot. All lots of premium Corning FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) are verified to contain ≤25 mg/dL of hemoglobin while regular grade contains ≤30 mg/dL of hemoglobin.
Certificate of Analysis and Biochemical Profile
Corning sera products are analyzed for quality and performance. Testing includes pH, osmolality, growth promotion, sterility (current USP method), mycoplasma, total protein, endotoxin and hemoglobin levels, virus, proteins, hormones, and trace medals.
ISIA Traceability Certified
Corning Life Sciences has been traceability certified according to the International Serum Industry Association (ISIA) Traceability Program. More information is available at the ISIA website:
