Why Use Atlanta Biologicals^™ Fetal Bovine Serum – EU – approved?

The objective of heat inactivation is to destroy complement activity in the serum without affecting the growth-promoting characteristics of the product. Removal of complement activity from the serum is not required for most cell cultures, but may be necessary for cultures that are sensitive to the complement activity. Researchers should evaluate the applicability of heat inactivation in regards to their own application.
