The core distributes a premium fetal bovine sera that is low in endotoxin and hemoglobin and is hybridoma tested by the suppliers as well as our laboratory. Ten to twelve different lots from various companies are screened for performance in cell fusions as well as cell growth assays. Because of the volume of quality sera purchased at one time, the pricing is lower thus enabling the core to pass on the savings to our customers. Sera can be purchased in 500 ml or 100 ml bottles with the 100 ml bottle sold either as heat inactivated or not heat inactivated. Calf sera and horse sera are also available.
Current pricing is available on-line or at the core.
The prices are the same as BioRad's catalog prices, however, you save money with no shipping, handling or packaging charges which many times can be more expensive than the product cost.
