Description
Background
PurMa Biologics manufactures seven types of horse serum, three of which, including PurMaTM Endotoxin-Depleted Fetal Horse Serum (ED-FHS) are considered as premium fetal Horse serums, each specialized for certain requirements in tissue culture:
- PurMa™ Premium Fetal Horse Serum (P-FHS).
- PurMa™ Ultra-Premium Fetal Horse Serum (UP-FHS).
- PurMa™ Endotoxin-Depleted Fetal Horse Serum (ED-FHS).
Additionally, PurMa™ Endotoxin-Depleted Fetal Horse Serum (ED-FHS) is processed from PurMa™ Premium Fetal Horse Serum (P-FHS). It, therefore, provides an excellent opportunity to compare the two serums from an endotoxin perspective.
Endotoxin Removal
Purma Biologics removes the endotoxin from FHS by passing the premium FHS through the PurMa™ Endotoxin Elimination Column (Cat# P6H1216251). The Sepharose 6B in our proprietary column is covalently conjugated to an endotoxin-specific absorbent. The mentioned procedure follows by eliminating the residual endotoxin by passing the unbound fraction three times through 0.1µm filters.
PurMa™ Premium FBS
- Firstly, PurMa™Endotoxin Depleted Fetal Horse Serum (EDP-FHS) is of USA origin.
- Also, it is free of endotoxin.
- Moreover, it Has been gamma irradiated.
- Has been heat inactivated.
- and lastly, has been vigorously analyzed with the certificate of analysis

Review: I have worked directly with PurMa biologics on a number of projects ongoing in my lab. I find the media and the specialty Lipid Depleted Serum to be high quality and very consistent among batches, which is critical to our adipogenesis projects using primary stem cells. Also, the service from PurMa is outstanding for my lab.

Review: I started my lab using the regular Gibco media components. We have shifted to Purma past 6 months and see no difference in the quality of our cell culture. Simply saying that Purma is cheaper, quicker to deliver and as good as Gibco. The best part was that Purma customized several media for our fish cell lines which was really helpful. Lastly, Seif walked through the customization of media over Zoom, that gave a lot of confidence for using those media solutions.

Review: Reliable and dependable products. We purchased lipid-depleted FBS (LD-FBS) from PurMa Biologics and it worked great. We cross-checked the lipid content in the serum by GC-MS and Triglyceride assay and as advertised, did not find any lipids in the FBS.
