We have created a knowledge center for that purpose, to share articles, definitions, and details on products, processes, and information our customers have requested.
Growth Factors for Cell Culture
Growth factors are essential proteins that regulate various biological processes in cells, including proliferation, differentiation, survival, and migration.
Adult Bovine Plasma
Adult bovine plasma (ABP) is a biological fluid derived from the blood of adult cows. It is a complex mixture containing a wide range of proteins, nutrients, and growth factors that are essential for the growth and survival of various cell types.
Plasma Fractionation
Plasma fractionation is a process used to separate the various components of plasma, a liquid component of blood. This process is crucial in the production of a wide range of biological products, including those used in cell culture.
Cell Adaptation
Cell culture adaptation refers to the process by which cells adjust their physiology and
metabolism to survive and proliferate in anew environment, often involving achange in
culture medium. This is particularly relevant when transitioning from amedium containing
fetal bovine serum (FBS) to an alternative medium.
Regulations
Although the production of animal derived products is not directly regulated globally, the
movement of these products is of great concern because of the possibility of release into the environment and infection of commercial herds of animals.
