Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS)
Fetal bovine serum or FBS (or fetal calf serum) is the portion of plasma remaining after coagulation of blood, during which process the plasma protein fibrinogen is converted to fibrin and remains behind in the clot[1]. Fetal bovine serum comes from the blood drawn from a bovine fetus via a closed system venipuncture at the abattoir. Fetal bovine serum is the most widely used serum for cell culture due to being low in antibodies and containing more growth factors, allowing for versatility in many different applications.
