Premium Fetal Horse Serum PFHS, is derived from the blood of the horse fetus. Cell culture laboratories use FHS\u00a0 for various purposes. P-FHS contains undefined nutrition, growth factors as well. Therefore, it remains a widely used supplement for cell culture. PurMa Biologics has developed and processes three main premium fetal horse serums, each specialized for certain requirements in tissue culture.<\/p>\n
PurMa Biologics produces seven types of horse serums. The three following are considered premium:<\/p>\n
Over the years, we have tested and analyzed PurMa\u2122 Premium Fetal Horse Serum (P-FHS). Please see the below table which contains the important cell culture supplements need to be noted..<\/p>\n
We routinely test every Lot and evaluate the following criteria: IgG, Total Protein, Iron, Percent Iron Saturation, Inorganic Phosphorus, Glucose, Alkaline Phosphatase,\u00a0 Potassium, Albumin, Blood Urea Nitrogen, Sodium, Calcium, Chloride, Total Bilirubin, Creatinine, Gamma Globulin, , Lactate Dehydrogenase, TIBC, SGOT, SGPT.<\/p>\n
