Description
Background
Premium Fetal Horse Serum (P-FHS) is derived from the blood of the horse fetus. Cell culture laboratories use FHS 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.
Our Serum Products
PurMa Biologics produces seven types of horse serums. The three following are considered premium:
- PurMa™ Premium Fetal Horse Serum (P-FHS).
- PurMa™ Ultra-Premium Fetal Horse Serum (UP-FHS).
- PurMa™ Endotoxin Depleted Fetal Horse Serum (EDP-FHS).
PurMa™ Premium FHS
- All three PurMaTM Premium FHS are, indeed, of USA origin.
- We additionally sterilize FHS by gamma irradiation.
