Description
Background
PurMa Biologics manufactures seven types of bovine serum, three of which, however, are considered premium fetal bovine serums, each specialized for certain requirements in tissue culture. Moreover, We highly evaluate Endotoxin-Depleted Fetal Bovine Serum (ED-FBS) for endotoxin and after triple filtering with 0.1µm, the residual endotoxin was depleted using PurMaTM Endotoxin Elimination Column (Cat# P6H1216251) ( see below).

PurMaTM Endotoxin-Depleted Fetal Bovine Serum (ED-FBS)
- PurMaTM Endotoxin Depleted Fetal Bovine Serum (EDP-FBS) is of USA origin.
- Additionally, has gone through an endotoxin depletion procedure.
- Has gone through gamma irradiation as well as heat inactivation process.
- Lastly, we vigorously analyze various aspects and each LOT possesses a certificate of analysis.
Endotoxin Removal Procedure
- PurMa Biologics processes PurMaTM ED-FBS from PurMaTM Premium Fetal Bovine Serum (P-FBS). It, therefore, provides an excellent opportunity to compare the two serums from an endotoxin perspective.
- The process of removing endotoxin from FBS routinely starts with passing the premium FBS through the PurMaTM Endotoxin Elimination Column (Cat# P6H1216251) at the rate of 0.1 ml/minute.
- The unbound fractions pass through 0.1µm filters three times. The mentioned procedure eliminates the residual of endotoxin as well.
- We conjugate Sepharose 6B in our proprietary column covalently to a powerful endotoxin-specific absorbent.
