What is the best way to thaw this product? Once thawed, how long can we use it if kept in at 4 oC?
1 answer-
The recommended storage temperature is -20°C. The following steps confirm the best way to thaw serum:
1. Remove the serum bottles from the freezer and allow them to acclimate to room temperature for approximately 10 minutes.
2. Place each container in a 30 to 37 °C water bath or incubator. Excessive temperatures will degrade heat-labile nutrients. If using a
water bath, prevent the bottle caps from being completely submerged.
3. Gently swirl or shake the bottles every 10 - 15 minutes until the serum is completely thawed.
Please note: Multiple thaw/freeze cycles should be avoided as they will hasten serum nutrient degradation and can induce insoluble precipitate formation.Helpful?

If the serum is being used to complete media for a cell thaw but then the cells are put through a DNA extraction rather than put into culture - would thawing a bottle of serum, aliquoting, and then re-freezing the serum be okay?
1 answer-
Thawed serum should be mixed thoroughly before being added to cell culture medium. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles may significantly impact serum quality. It is recommended to aliquot the thawed serum for single use and store aliquots at -20 °C. If serum is stored between 2-8 °C, it should be used within 2-4 weeks.

At which biosafety level should Human Serum H6914 be handled?
1 answer-
Blood products should be treated and handled as potentially infectious. It is recommended to use human origin products from normal (non-diseased) donors at Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2). Although donors may be tested for adventitious infections, as listed on the Certificate of Analysis for the product, no testing can cover all types of infection. Therefore, these products should be treated as potentially infectious and handled accordingly. Laboratory directors and principal investigators are responsible for performing a risk assessment and determining the biosafety level in accordance with applicable national and local regulations.

What is the difference between human serum from AB plasma and human serum from AB clotted whole blood?
1 answer-
Product H6914 is prepared from whole blood that is allowed to clot, centrifuged and the serum removed. There is no additional processing required.Product H4522 is prepared from anticoagulated (sodium citrate) whole blood. This is centrifuged to pellet the cells (RBC, WBC, some platelets) and the plasma is removed. This plasma is then treated with calcium to activate the clotting cascade. The preparation is centrifuged again and the supernatant is removed. This product can also be called plasma derived serum.Product H6914 will contain more growth factors since it is allowed to spontaneously clot and there will be the release of growth factors from many of the cells (WBC, platelets) present. The cells are removed before the plasma is clotted for Product H4522, so this plasma will have fewer growth factors present (more similar to what is circulating). Unless testing for growth factors, most researchers are looking for Product H6914.We offer both products heat inactivated.Product H5667 Human Serum Heat Inactivated, from male AB clotted whole bloodProduct H3667 Human Serum Heat Inactivated, from human male AB plasma
