FBS Xtra, Fetal Bovine Serum, Capricorn Scientific

FBS Xtra combines reduced FBS content with defined supplements for consistent cell culture performance.

FBS Xtra is a next‑generation fetal bovine serum developed through collaboration between Capricorn Scientific and the University of Applied Sciences Frankfurt. It features a significantly reduced serum content enriched with key growth-promoting components, resulting in lower batch-to-batch variability and enhanced cell growth performance and morphology, while reducing cellular stress
By incorporating defined additives, FBS Xtra allows labs to maintain standard serum concentrations in culture media with less serum usage, addressing supply limitations, ethical concerns, and improving experimental consistency. This refined formulation represents a meaningful advancement in cell culture, offering researchers a more controlled, sustainable, and reproducible serum option.
