Product description

Omega Scientific’s U.S. Source Fetal Bovine Sera is collected entirely from USDA licensed abattoirs and processed within the United States. Our serum is maintained at or below 40°F from collection through sterile bottling to ensure superior performance. For heat inactivation, processed serum is thawed and gently heated in a water bath at 56°C for 30 minutes. During this process, the serum is swirled every 10 minutes to ensure even integration of concentrated proteins. The heating step effectively inactivates the complement system, which is a group of approximately 20 proteins produced by the liver that enhances antibody function.
