Newborn Calf Serum

Bovine serum is the blood fraction remaining after the natural coagulation of blood, followed by centrifugation to remove any remaining red blood cells. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) containing an especially high amount of growth factors is the most widely used serum. The production of bovine serum at PAN-Biotech is tightly controlled, from the collection of serum at the slaughterhouse and throughout the whole production cycle which is performed without exception in production facilities in Aidenbach, Germany. 

Quality

All serum processing steps take place in PAN-Biotech's own production facilities in Aidenbach/Germany. Pooling, sterile filtration and aseptic filling take place in clean room atmospheres set up according to GMP guidelines. Raw material is obtained exclusively from facilities listed in the European Union TRACES system. 

PAN-Biotech warrants the submission of a complete documentation, consisting of a certificate of origin and a veterinary certificate, shipping documents and a certificate of analysis. Furthermore, every single procedure during an individual production process is documented and then summarized in a production protocol.
