Solutions for Every
Stage of Cell Culture

Discover our range of serum, plasma, cell culture media, salt solutions and buffers, designed to support reliable laboratory and cell culture workflows.

Discover our range of fetal bovine serum and other animal sera.

Each manufactured batch is rigorously controlled: starting with the collection of the serum, its treatment and production, to the final packaging on our premises. Biowest analyses, classifies and tests its products before shipment to customers all over the world. Each batch is delivered with a Certificate of Analysis.

Our quality system traces every raw material back to its original supplier and the site where it was collected. Because we control our supply chain from end to end, we can provide origin certification and full traceability for every lot of serum.

Treatment options are available for all of our geographic origins. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Cell culture is the set of techniques for maintaining and growing cells outside their original tissue environment, under controlled survival conditions.

It is widely used in research to study the behaviour of cells and their response to different stimuli, as well as to produce recombinant proteins and drugs.

All our products are subjected to rigorous quality control tests (pH, osmolality, composition, homogeneity, glucose and sodium analysis, endotoxin, biological performance).

Salt solutions maintain the osmolarity of reagents used in the laboratory and have a buffering effect on pH.
They are widely used in the laboratory as washing solutions for cells prior to their dissociation or as reaction buffers for biochemical tests (ELISA) and other diagnostic techniques.

In microbiology, saline solutions are also used for the preparation of culture media and for the dilution of samples in microbiology tests.

Salt solutions are used: for the preparation of organ parts, during the dissociation process, to isolate cell suspensions or to prepare viral transport medium.

Find all the salt solutions offered by Biowest to preserve the environment of your cells.

Our Process

Built for Continuity, from Sourcing to Delivery

Our quality system is registered to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016, and traceability is a core part of every audit. We control each batch of sterile serum internally at every stage: importing the raw serum, final filtration, and labeling. Full batch documentation is available on request, in print or electronic format.

01

Animal Collection

Serum collected and processed in the United States and in USDA-approved regions. Our SOP’s govern every step, from collection through processing, and each lot comes with official documentation confirming where the animals came from.

02

Processing & QC Testing

Filtration, treatment and quality control testing all take place under our ISO-registered quality system. A batch is released only once it meets every specification on its Certificate of Analysis.

03

Documentation & Dispatch

Certificate of Analysis, health certificate, and certificate of origin issued for every batch.

Serving Life Sciences since 1978

Our products are used in the production of biopharmaceuticals and vaccines, as well as in the academic, government, and industrial research sectors. They cover areas such as cell biology, genomics, proteomics, virology, immunology, innovative drug research, and toxicology.
