Bovine calf serum is a cost-effective alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). It is often used with robust cell lines when large quantities of serum are needed such as in the manufacturing of biological drugs and vaccines. Bovine calf serum is derived from calves that are generally less than 22 weeks old. It has very high levels of transferrin, which allows for iron fortification to levels of more than three times greater than FBS.
FBS is a commonly used cell culture media supplement which helps sustain cell growth and satisfy metabolic requirements.

Charcoal stripped FBS has lower levels of lipophilic compounds such as hormones, growth factors, and steroids. This product is used by scientists conducting receptor or estrogen related studies which require lower levels of these components.
Low IgG FBS is used in IgG Antibody production, in the propagation of organisms that are normally hindered by the presence of IgGs, or any project in which downstream results would be hindered by exogenous IgGs.
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.
