General description

Bovine serum (BS) is considered a cost-effective choice than fetal bovine serum (FBS). It can also be preserved stable for a long time.

Application

Bovine Serum, Adult has been used:
  • to treat silicone square to prepare it for the biofilm assay for in vitro biofilm growth conditions
  • in cell culture as a component in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle medium for digesting articular cartilage and proximal metacarpals
  • as a lubricating solution in hydrodynamic analysis and to imitate the synovial joints

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adult bovine serum (BS) possesses bactericidal activity against Helicobacter pylori. Heat-treated BS can be used as the best serum source of H. pylori culture medium.
