HyClone’s new Bovine Growth Serum (BGS) was developed for cell culturists who are concerned about the current fetal bovine serum shortage and are seeking an affordable and viable alternative. Growth promotion studies demonstrate that BGS is a superior performing FBS replacement. BGS consists of high quality HyClone Defined Bovine Calf Serum, supplemented with chemically defined components including vitamins, amino acids, trace metals, and other small molecules to stimulate cell growth and proliferation. It is filtered through three sequential 100nm pore-size rated filters.
