Fetal Bovine Serum - Gamma Irradiated, Heat Inactivated

Gamma irradiation is recognized as a minimally intrusive, effective and reproducible method of inactivating viruses and other adventitious agents in serum. Even though Fetal Bovine Serum is stringently tested, low levels of common bovine viruses below the detection limits of current test methods may exist. Atlanta Biologicals brand Gamma Irradiated Fetal Bovine Serum is exposed to a Cobalt-60 source at a delivered dose of 25-35 kGy under tightly controlled conditions. Exposure of serum to this dosage has been shown to remove up to 6 logs of many extraneous agents while preserving the growth performance characteristics of serum.

Fetal Bovine Serum – Gamma Irradiated, Heat Inactivated is treated by heat inactivation where serum is exposed to a temperature of 56

C for 30 minutes under controlled conditions.

Discounted pricing available for larger quantity orders on most products. Please contact your Atlanta Biologicals representative for more details.
