Horse Serum
Sterile nutrient-rich serum for cell culture, immunoassays, and microbiology.
Horse Serum is a sterile, nutrient-rich supplement widely used in cell culture, immunology, and microbiology. It provides essential proteins, lipids, and growth factors that promote the growth, maintenance, and viability of mammalian cells.
Its sterility ensures optimal performance and safety, making it suitable for sensitive cell culture systems. In addition, Horse Serum is often employed as a blocking reagent in immunoassays such as ELISA and Western blot, helping to minimize nonspecific binding. It is available in heat-inactivated and non-inactivated formats to meet different research needs.
