Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is an indispensable key component in cell culture. It provides essential nutrients, hormones, growth factors, and attachment factors for cell growth.
As a core upstream raw material in the field of life science cell culture, fetal bovine serum is widely used in scientific research in universities, hospitals, and research institutes, as well as in enterprise research and development, antibody production, vaccine manufacturing, and other fields.
ExCell Bio has been engaged in the production of fetal bovine serum (FBS) since 2006, boasting a 19-year history to date. ExCell Bio has always placed quality at the top of its priorities. This unwavering commitment to quality has not only built a solid reputation for the brand but also driven the establishment of its second serum factory, ARTICA, in Uruguay, ensuring a more stable and reliable supply of FBS for the global biological research community.
ExCell Bio's fetal bovine serum and newborn calf serum solutions meet your various application needs. We offer fetal bovine serum and newborn calf serum of different grades to help you select the right one.
Designed specifically for the stable growth of robust cell lines used in all standard cell culture research applications. Our Premium Grade Fetal Bovine Serum from Uruguay undergoes up to 52 quality specification tests, offering exceptional value.
Our high-quality FSD500 Defined Grade Fetal Bovine Serum, an internally screened product with a higher quality grade, is suitable for the culture of more sensitive cell lines.
It can be used for the culture of common vigorously proliferating immortalized cell lines and tumor cell lines.
