Defined Iron-Supplemented Bovine Calf Serum is collected by venipuncture from formula-fed veal calves, which produce exceptionally high levels of transferrin. We carefully supplement this serum with iron to load serum transferrin levels to physiological levels. After supplementation, our Iron-Supplemented Bovine Calf Serum contains three to four times as much available iron and transferrin as FBS or equine serum. Many researchers have found this product to be an excellent and cost-effective alternative to FBS. Growth promotion studies have demonstrated the many applications of Iron-Supplemented Bovine Calf Serum and show that it often out per forms FBS in many applications. As with all our calf serum products, this product is sterile filtered using three sequential 100 nm (0.1 µm) pore-size rated filters..

HyClone recognizes the challenges in changing regulatory filings, so we also offer an option to those serum users who need to meet the human guideline requirements, but prefer to continue using the same products (no changes to the product part number) with the addition of three tests.

These products are ordered using the non-EMEA part numbers and are tested per the information below. Standard serum products that require EMEA/CPMP/ BWP/1793/02 conformance are provided with the standard Certificate of Analysis, in addition to an addendum, which includes the additional testing results. It is the combination of both documents that provide assurance that the product purchased is EMEA/CPMP/ BWP/1793/02 Conforming.
