For In Vitro Diagnostic use (not for human or animal therapeutic use)
We certify that all lots of Biological Industries’ Foetal Bovine Serum are produced from raw materials originating in countries completely free of both BSE and FMD diseases. Therefore, they are certified for use by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM).

Note: Since our sera are not pre-aged before filtration, turbidity or flocculent debris may develop upon thawing or storage of the serum. This condition does not adversely affect performance characteristics of the serum.
