Cytiva HyClone™ Characterized Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), New Zealand Origin

HyClone Characterized Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), New Zealand Origin is carefully collected, processed, and filtered in our own New Zealand facility. The great expanse of the Pacific ocean has protected New Zealand’s islands from many outside influences, both geographically and biologically. One of the benefits of this isolation is that New Zealand has the fewest reported bovine diseases in the world, making Characterized FBS, New Zealand Origin an excellent source of bovine serum as it offers greater security.

Characterized FBS is assayed for gamma globulin, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, pH, total protein, albumin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, total bilirubin, sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, inorganic phosphorus, osmolality, iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), percent iron saturation, glucose, and IgG. Included assays are subject to change without notice.

Additional treatments available including heat-inactivation and irradiation. Additional testing, including EMEA-conforming testing, is also available.

For decades, Cytivas HyClone™ premium bovine serum products have exceeded industry standards for quality, purity, and regulatory compliance. HyClone™ serum processes are traceability certified by the International Serum Industry Association (ISIA) and, in addition, Cytiva has chosen to be an early adopter of scientific traceability by Oritain to prove the country of origin of their premium bovine serum products from the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Premium bovine serum samples from different regions have been analyzed and Oritain has created a database of the unique ‘Origin Fingerprint’ that is exclusive to each country of origin.

Have Confidence in Security of Supply with Secondary Sourcing

Fetal Bovine Serum from a single origin may be limited, so it’s important to qualify FBS products from other countries to increase your security of supply. HyClone Characterized FBS from United States (US), New Zealand (NZ) and Australia (AUS) have been evaluated and tested to show equivalent performance. Read our full study.
