Fetal Bovine Serum

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is one of the most widely used supplements in cell culture research. Also referred to as fetal calf serum, FBS is rich in growth factors, hormones, and attachment factors. It supports the growth, cell proliferation, and maintenance of cells in vitro cell culture. From routine cell lines to sensitive primary cultures, high‑quality FBS serum is essential for achieving consistent and reproducible results.

At FB Australia, we supply premium‑grade fetal bovine serum from trusted Australian‑origin sources such as Corning. All products undergo rigorous quality control and are sterile‑filtered to ensure they meet the demanding standards of cell culture applications in biomedical research, diagnostics, and pharmaceutical development.

Whether you are working with stem cells, immune cells, or other animal cell cultures, our range of FBS products provides the nutrients and trace elements your cultures need to thrive. Our expert team is here to help. Contact us online or call 1800 066 077 for tailored product recommendations and friendly support.

FAQ

FBS supplies essential growth factors, attachment factors, proteins, and trace elements that support cell survival, attachment, and proliferation in vitro. It helps maintain healthy cell function across a wide range of cell types, making it a key serum supplement in many culture media formulations.

Fetal bovine serum is obtained as a by‑product of the meat industry, with blood collected from bovine foetuses under controlled and regulated conditions. The process is carried out using a closed system to reduce the risk of contamination, and the serum is then separated, filtered, and tested to meet strict quality control standards. All our FBS products come with detailed certificates of analysis outlining geographic origin and test results to ensure transparency and traceability.

Australian-origin FBS is only sourced from herds in Australia with strict animal health monitoring and no recorded cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). This low‑risk geographic origin is often required for regulated research environments and offers peace of mind for sensitive biomedical science applications. These products are also subject to rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance in cell culture media.
