Lipid-Depleted Fetal Bovine Serum (LDFBS)£¬IC-1910
Product Description
1.Source: Fetal bovine serum (FBS) processed to remove lipids (cholesterol, phospholipids, lipoproteins) while retaining growth factors and proteins.
2.Appearance: Clear, light yellow liquid, free of precipitates .
3.Sterility: 0.1um filtered, tested negative for mycoplasma and viruses.
Key Features
1. Lipid Content: Cholesterol ¡Ü 5ug/mL (vs. 100¨C200ug/mL in standard FBS). >90% total lipid removal.
2. Retained Components: Growth factors (e.g., IGF, EGF), hormones, amino acids, vitamins.
3.Cell Compatibility: Ideal for lipid-sensitive studies (e.g., lipid metabolism, atherosclerosis models, certain cancer cell lines).
Applications
1.Lipid Metabolism Research: Study cellular responses to lipid-deficient conditions.
2.Signaling Pathways: Minimize lipid interference in receptor studies (e.g., GPCR, insulin signaling).
3.Specialized Cell Culture: For cells requiring precise lipid control or low-lipid environments.
Usage
1. Thawing: Slow thaw at 2¨C8¡ãC (recommended) or rapid thaw in 37¡ãC water bath. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
2. Medium Preparation: Recommended concentration: 5¨C20% (adjust per cell requirements). Sterile-filter (0.22um) after mixing with basal medium.
3. Storage: Long-term: ¨C20¡ãC to ¨C80¡ãC; thawed aliquots stable at 2¨C8¡ãC for ¡Ü1 month.
Precautions
1.Cell Adaptation: Some cells may exhibit reduced growth; pre-testing is advised.
2.Lipid Supplementation: Add exogenous lipids (e.g., cholesterol) if needed.
3.Contamination Risk: Use aseptic techniques; aliquot to minimize contamination.
Quality Control
- Testing:
- Endotoxin ¡Ü 10 EU/mL.
- Hemoglobin ¡Ü 25 mg/dL.
- Microbiological testing (bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma): Negative.
FAQs
Q1: Can LDFBS fully replace standard FBS?
A: No. Use only for specific low-lipid studies; standard FBS is recommended for routine culture.
Q2: How to handle serum precipitates?
A: Centrifuge (2000 rpm, 5 min) for minor precipitates; contact the supplier if excessive.
