Porcine serum is ideal for use as a cell culture media especially in vaccine production. Sourced from USDA audited and approved suppliers, RMBIO pig serum is 0.2um sterile filtered and features low hemoglobin levels. We carefully control the entire production process to ensure sterility, high quality, and excellent growth-promotion and performance. Porcine serum is gamma irradiated at an industry standard dose of 25-40kGy to mitigate risk from low-level contaminants that may not be detected through viral or mycoplasma testing.

Gamma Irradiation 101
Gamma irradiation is a physical inactivation approach used to achieve pathogen reduction in the serum. This mitigates risk from low-level contaminants that may not be detected through viral or mycoplasma testing. RMBIO serum is gamma irradiated via controlled exposure to Cobalt 60 at an industry standard dose of 25-40kGy. Most typical viral contaminants of bovine serum are readily inactivated at this irradiation range. Advantages of gamma irradiation include:

• No potential for residual contaminants
• Widely accepted by pharmaceutical and research industries
• Accepted by regulatory agencies
• Minimal effect on product performance
• Effective virus inactivation
