Product Overview
New-born Calf Serum (NCO) is a light brown clarified liquid derived from new-born bovine blood. It is obtained after coagulation and the removal of fibrinogen and certain coagulation factors from plasma. Bovine serum is the most widely used natural medium in cell cultures, containing a wealth of nutrients essential for cell growth. It is typically added to cell cultures at a ratio of 5-20%. Bovine serum contains various amino acids, vitamins, inorganic substances, lipids, and other nutrients necessary for maintaining cell growth. It also contains hormones, growth factors, and binding proteins such as insulin, hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, bFGF, EGF, PDGF, and transferrin that promote cell growth. Additionally, bovine serum serves to detoxify, buffer, and inhibit protease activity, protecting cells from harm.
ExCell Bio new-born calf serum is collected from healthy cattle in non-epidemic areas and is processed through aseptic collection, batch mixing, and triple 100 nm filtration. It is free from mycoplasma and bovine viruses such as BVDV, PI3, IBR, and BTV.
