What is the current status of fetal bovine serum?
At present, China's domestic market, a wide range of fetal bovine serum, many scientific research workers, especially those who just contact cell culture, it is difficult to distinguish the merits of serum quality. Xiao Bian summed up a number of users and serum dealers and network experience, as follows:
Some people have the same understanding of the population: serum, because of its complex internal components and difficult to control the external factors, it is both the necessary nutrients for cell growth, but also the deadly poison of cell death, when we sleepless nights, painstaking, Spared no effort to keep the cells at the same time, but also most likely because of a moment of negligence and the effect of the wrong blood, leading to precious cell accident outside, all zero, had to start the heart.
Here are some regular serum brands:
1. Gibco asks customers, as if they all know the brand, it seems that the market share is good.
However, it is said that it has been out of stock for half a year, the manufacturer also has no goods, whether, the big brand supply is also unstable, what is called the experiment is good.
2. Hyclone serum high-end brands and fakes, especially South American blood, but in recent years many of the fans Hyclone is no longer with his family's serum, as quality goods out of stock, counterfeit goods, lead to the customer for Hyclone have lost their patience.
3. Corning cellgro serum high-end brands, from the Mediatech, Australian production technology of blood and Gibco, hyclone, only later to enter the Chinese market, the popularity is not so high, although the benefit from the Corning keen market anticipation in the window period stock is enough, but after the market gradually digestion, inventories are on the verge of emergency, but heard of a company to an old customer, reserved, loyal fans, it seems, some companies are considering for our customers.
A brand of trust.
4. Sigma SAFC serum, and there are many customers in China, especially large pharmaceutical and vaccine enterprises. The quality is more stable, but the supply is also severely inadequate!
5. Gemini serum, serum in Gemini 13-14 years caught a lot of products out of stock in the serum of brand opportunity, is growing rapidly, the product quality and stability, although not as good as the above several big manufacturers, but because the price is relatively cheap, there is also a part of the laboratory use.
6. Bioind serum, serum, hereinafter referred to as BI used with low price strategy in China market share is still relatively high, on the one hand, due to the shortage of nearly two years, on the other hand are fakes, choose too cautious.
After the trial, the effect is good, quick attack to prepare goods.
7. Bovogen people actually is the pure Australia fetal bovine serum production and supply industry leader, the company is located in Melbourne, Australia, unfortunately, it seems like a lot of customers don't know me, really is the brand effect.
8. Mogerate was founded in 1975, in Brisbane, Australia and New Zealand Hamilton has a cGMP factories, products of raw materials are from Australia and New Zealand, but popularity is not high also, it seems didn't spend a lot of money on the market promotion, quality also is pretty good.

10. The use of domestic scientific research laboratory in sijiqing is relatively common and the price is relatively affordable, which can meet the training needs of many conventional cells.
In contrast, the quality of domestic brand serum due to the incontrolability of blood collection and the difference of production technology, the quality is uneven, the most worrying is the large difference between the batch, the quality is not stable.
Customer feedback on the serum in the market:
1. It's not true.
On the one hand, the illegal traders' fish-eye mixed bead, on the one hand, due to the general shortage of the normal serum, many users lack the formal purchase way, forced to turn to some informal channels.
Because the quality of the fake serum is not very stable, the quality problem of the serum to domestic researchers also bring great distress, waste time and money are huge, even directly affect the paper on the accuracy of the results.
2. The price is cheap.
Some users, given the large amount of laboratory consumption, take into account the factors of research funding, choosing some low - priced but unknown serum.
3. Blindly follow the wind.
Some users based on past experience with or in a foreign country for some well-known brand recognition, a certain requirement to buy Gibco and hyclone these brand, do you not know, is now heavily is hard to find a bottle of authenticity, the so-called not Gibco Gibco!
