This webinar elucidates the manufacturing process of FBS and provides a useful overview about its different variants, treatments, and handling tips. Contact us for access to a recording of the webinar
Abstract:
For more than 60 years, fetal bovine serum has become an essential component of various cell culture media. Though, nowadays, many serum-free and chemically defined media are prominent on the market, the growth promoting features of FBS on mostly all cell types are uncontested. This webinar elucidates the manufacturing process of FBS and provides a useful overview about its different variants, treatments, and handling tips. Special attention will be paid to more defined and synthetic alternatives to natural FBS. In the end of this webinar, possible perspectives for the cell culture media landscape of the future will be given.
After the presentation, there will be time for a lively discussion to clarify further questions.
