| The vast 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 and has been determined
to be free from BSE and FMD. This makes New Zealand FBS an excellent source
of bovine serum as it offers maximum safety. HyClone’s New Zealand FBS
is carefully collected, processed, and filtered in our own New Zealand
facility following our exacting standards to ensure the highest quality
and absolute traceability. Our New Zealand FBS is filtered through three
sequential 100nm (0.1 µm) pore-size rated filters.
