As with antibiotics and L-glutamine, serum is not a component already included in the liquid culture medium due to its instability, and must therefore be added before use. Bovine serum is a complex blend of plasma proteins, growth factors and minerals. Bovine serum globular protein albumin is one of the major components of the product. The rich range of proteins (from fetal bovine serum) keeps cultured cells in an environment where they can survive, grow and divide. Fetal bovine serum is commercially available from many manufacturers, and because in vitro grown cells are highly sensitive, customers typically test specific batches and check their suitability for the specific cell type. DBA Italia is able to supply both the traditional fetal bovine serum in all its variants, and a synthetic substitute of the fetal bovine serum, chemically defined and animal-free, which does not show variability from lot to lot, XerumFree ™ .
