Mouse Serum(100ml)

Code: 127269
Animal serum for cell culture media supplementation and lab workflows (research use).
Mouse Serum is an animal-derived serum intended as a supplement for cell culture media and as a protein-rich matrix for laboratory workflows.
In cell culture, serum can contribute attachment factors, carrier proteins (e.g., albumin), lipids, and growth-supporting components that help maintain cell viability and proliferation. Because serum is a complex biological mixture, performance may vary across cell lines and across lots; pre-testing and lot control are recommended for critical assays.
For best reproducibility, thaw under controlled temperature, mix gently to re-homogenize, aliquot for single-use, and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Heat inactivation and sterile filtration should be applied only when your protocol requires it.
Technical Specifications:
| Material | Serum |
| Species | Mouse |
| Typical cell-culture use level | 5–20% v/v (optimize per cell line) |
| Recommended storage (general) | Frozen (≤ -20°C) for long-term; 2–8°C after thaw for short use |
Applications:
- Supplement for mammalian cell culture media (adherent and suspension systems)
- Blocking/diluent matrix for immunoassays (optimize to assay requirements)
- Protein matrix for enzyme assays and microbiological workflows where serum is specified
Operating Instructions:
1. Thaw at 2–8°C (recommended) or at room temperature under supervision; do not microwave.
2. Mix gently by inversion until homogeneous; avoid foaming.
3. Aliquot into sterile containers for single-use to reduce freeze–thaw stress.
4. Apply heat inactivation and/or sterile filtration only if required by your protocol.
Safety Notes:
- For laboratory research use; not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
- Treat as potentially biohazardous material; follow institutional biosafety and PPE guidance.
Ideal for: Cell culture labs, assay development, R&D screening, microbiology media preparation
