Fetal bovine serum for cell culture (tetracycline-free)
High-quality Tet System Approved FBS for cell culture has been functionally tested* to ensure that it permits the full range of tetracycline-regulated induction with well-characterized Tet cell lines. As the exclusive licensed distributor of tetracycline-controlled gene expression systems, only Takara Bio USA is certified to offer FBS that can ensure optimum induction with all tetracycline-inducible gene expression systems.
High-quality Tet System Approved FBS for cell culture has been functionally tested* to ensure that it permits the full range of tetracycline-regulated induction with well-characterized Tet cell lines. As the exclusive licensed distributor of tetracycline-controlled gene expression systems, only Takara Bio USA is certified to offer FBS that can ensure optimum induction with all tetracycline-inducible gene expression systems. Other commercial cell-culture serum products may contain tetracycline-derived contaminants which can dramatically affect the inducible regulation of Tet systems.
Because our Tet-On and Tet-Off systems are extremely sensitive, even “antibiotic-free” fetal bovine serum that has no negative effect on cell growth may still exhibit enough activity to alter Tet-regulated gene expression. You can be confident that Tet System Approved FBS will not adversely affect Tet-On or Tet-Off experiments.
*Testing for the presence of tetracyclines in fetal or calf serum is not equivalent to the highly sensitive functional testing that is performed on our Tet System Approved FBS.
Overview
- The only fetal bovine serum that is functionally tested with our tetracycline-inducible expression systems.
- Proven track record—20 years providing Tet Approved FBS
- Ensures lowest background expression with our Tet-On 3G and Tet-One Systems
- Two versions of Tet System Approved FBS are available:
- US-sourced FBS: a premium cell-culture serum that is collected in the United States.
- Tet System Approved FBS: a more economical alternative obtained from non-US, USDA-approved sources.
- All sera are subjected to the same rigorous testing to ensure full inducibility.
