High-Quality Charcoal-Stripped Fetal Bovine Serum

Biowest offers premium charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum (FBS) specifically designed for applications requiring minimal hormonal interference. Our FBS is rigorously tested and quality-controlled to ensure optimal cell growth and performance.

Key Benefits:

Reduced hormonal variability: Minimizes the influence of endogenous hormones on experimental outcomes.
Proven performance: Supports a wide range of cell lines and experimental conditions.
Stringent quality control: Manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2012 standards.
Versatility: Ideal for hormone-related studies, drug development, and cellular signaling research.

Ideal Applications:

Hormone studies: Investigate the effects of specific hormones without interference.
Cytotoxic drug response: Assess drug efficacy in hormone-responsive cells.
Cellular signaling: Study signaling pathways influenced by hormones.
Tumor cells: Research hormone-dependent cancers and their interactions.

Trust Biowest for your critical cell culture needs.

We deliver Biowest solutions across South East Asia (Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar) and Across China Only.
