Equine serum can be used in a variety of applications and serve as a cost-effective alternative to fetal bovine serum. Horse serum is ideal for use as cell culture medium and in veterinary biologics. RMBIO obtains donor horse serum from closed herds that are carefully controlled and inspected by veterinarians. Horses are regularly tested for equine infectious anemia using Coggins tests. Before collection, donor horses are fasted to ensure lower lipid levels. All lots of equine serum are 0.2µm sterile filtered and feature low hemoglobin levels.

Heat Inactivation 101
Heat inactivation is an industry standard treatment that helps protect against growth inhibiting immune factors like serum complement that may be present in the serum. Serum complement can have undesirable impacts on immunological endpoints like detection of neutralizing antibodies, or on the proliferation of viruses. RMBIO manufactures heat inactivated equine serum by raising the temperature of the serum to 56°C in a water bath and strictly maintaining the condition for 30 minutes.
