Fetal Bovine Serum, qualified, Australia - FAQs

What is the difference between "qualified" versus "certified" purity grade FBS?

The main difference is in the Quality Control (QC) test specifications. “Qualified” and “Certified” FBS go through the same QC tests but “Certified” FBS has additional QC tests as well as more stringent QC test specifications for endotoxin and hemoglobin levels. The additional QC tests in “Certified” FBS include biochemical and hormonal profiling.
