Fetal Bovine Serum Charcoal Stripped is an essential product for researchers requiring low levels of hormones. Charcoal stripped fetal bovine serum has been absorbed with activated carbon that removes non-polar material such as lipophilic (lipid-related) materials (virus, certain growth factors, hormones and cytokines) regardless of molecular weight but has little effect on salts, glucose, amino acids, etc. Once treated the serum is immediately sterile filtered and frozen. This results in a serum that is more defined since lipid-like components that may impact research results are not in the culture system. These can be added at desired concentrations for improved ability to do lipophilic-related research.
