Developed for growth of CHO cells and derivatives, supplement cell culture growth with U.S.-sourced HyClone™ FetalClone™ II Serum, a fetal bovine serum (FBS) alternative, containing additional growth factors and supplements than basic formulations.
Fetal Bovine Serum often contains the antibiotic tetracycline (tet) and researchers using very sensitive tet-inducible gene expression systems encounter problems with unintended expression as a result. Serum containing minimal levels of tetracycline is needed to ensure accurate gene expression.

Horse serum is often used in testing media for mycoplasma contamination or as a blocking agent and controls in immunoassays. It can also be combined with fetal bovine serum for the culture of rat adrenal pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells.
