Lipid-Depleted Fetal Bovine Serum (LD-FBS)

(18 customer reviews)

Generally, the best used for Lipid-Depleted Fetal Bovine Serum (LD-FBS) in research applications is when the normal concentration of lipids may interfere with the results. moreover, For studies directly involve lipid metabolism. That is because the composition of serum can have a profound impact on important cellular checkpoints. It is also used for the generation of media with defined lipid species.

Description

Background

The analysis of lipid metabolism in cultured cells is challenging. That is because the cell culture carries out in presence of animal serum, which contains a wide range of undefined lipid species. Generally, the best used for Lipid-Depleted Fetal Bovine Serum (LD-FBS) in research applications is:

  1. When the normal concentration of lipids may interfere with the results.
  2. For studies directly involve lipid metabolism. That is because the composition of serum can have a profound impact on important cellular checkpoints.
  3. It is used for the generation of media with defined lipid species.

Special Features

  • PurMaTM Premium LD-FBS is of USA origin
  • Additionally, has gone through  an endotoxin depletion procedure.
  • Has gone through gamma irradiation as well as heat inactivation process.
  • PurMa Biologics performs the most sophisticated lipid depletion.
  • Th process will continue with dialysis using the 3500 Dalton dialysis tube.
  • The dialysis carries out against 5X 10 Liters of PBD with physiological pH per each 500 ml of serum.
  • The procedure depletes the lipids, phospholipids, and a long chain of fatty acids.
  • Lastly, we vigorously analyze various aspects, and each LOT possesses a certificate of analysis.
  • The process eliminate mycoplasma, IgG, steroids and hormones, and other pathogens.
  • Acceptable level of Endotoxin hemoglobin (20 mg/DL) and endotoxin (10 mg/DL).

    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.
