#131312 FBS / FCS or other sera. Is there a better alternative?

Posted bob1 on 19 March 2012 - 01:59 PM

The alternatives (animal free medium) are not cheap.  It pays not to go cheap with FBS as it is critical for much of your cell culture work, thus if you get a bad batch your cells will not grow well and your experiments will be compromised.  When you purchase it, make sure that you get a test batch, so that you can test your current cells for growth curves and behaviour.  This is very important if you want your experiments to be OK!

Think about the biological relevance... which cells is it targetting, and how is it getting to the cells in the body?
