Application

Newborn calf serum (NCS) is collected within 10 days post partum calves. NCS is useful in a wide range of cell culture and organ preservation applications. For example, it is used in cornea preservation and cryopreservation of bovine embryos. NCS is used in cell culture to support the maturation of oocytes; to study the function of tubular epithelial cells; and to develop primary cultures of cells such as visceral adipocytes.

Preparation Note

Collected from calves that are 10 days old or less.
Exposed to 25-35 kGy of irradiation.

Analysis Note

Endotoxin tested

Storage Class

10 - Combustible liquids
