Donor Adult Bovine serum (ABS) is sourced in the USA, from a closed herd maintained on USDA licensed premises. Cattle from these closed herds are used exclusively for the production of donor bovine blood products. They receive regular veterinary inspections and care. Prior to entering the herd, the cattle are quarantined for 30 days and are tested for tuberculosis, brucellosis, and bluetongue virus. Donor Adult Bovine Serum is sterile filtered using three sequential 100 nm (0.1 µm) pore-size filters

Assays (subject to change without notice): Gamma Globulin, Alkaline Phosphatase, Lactate Dehydrogenase, Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT), Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT), pH, Total Protein, Albumin, Blood Urea Nitrogen, Creatinine, Total Bilirubin, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Chloride, Inorganic Phosphorous, Osmolality, Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), Percent Saturation, Glucose, and IgG.

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.
