Fetal Bovine Serum(Australia)
Country of Origin: Australian
The serum is collected or imported and treated in agreement with the Australia regulations. The country in which the serum was taken from the donor/animal.
Virus Tested:
All of our sera are tested for:
-Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD)
-Cytopathogenic agents e.g. Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) / BHV-1
-Hemadsorbing agents e.g. Parainfluenza Type 3 (Pl3)
Sera are tested by inoculation to permissive cells.
The revelation is made by immunofluorescence for pestiviruses.
Cytopathogenic agents and hemadsorbing agents are detected by microscopic observations.
Endotoxin:
All sera are tested to determine the levels of endotoxins. Nobimpex carries out a chromokinetic quantitative test, according to the method D of the European Pharmacopoeia. The endotoxin reagent is standardized against the US reference endotoxin.
Endotoxin specification: <10 EU/ml.
Haemoglobin:
The haemoglobin level is measured by spectrophotometer.
Haemoglobin specification: < 30 mg/100ml.
