Premium Fetal Horse Serum (P-FHS)
Premium Fetal Horse Serum (P-FHS) is derived from the blood of the horse fetus. Cell culture laboratories use FHS for growing mostly mammalian eukaryotic cells. FHS contains undefined nutrition growth factors as well. Therefore, it remains a widely used supplement for cell culture. PurMa Biologics has developed and processes three main premium fetal horse serums, each specialized for certain requirements in tissue culture.

Review: I have worked directly with PurMa biologics on a number of projects ongoing in my lab. I find the media and the specialty Lipid Depleted Serum to be high quality and very consistent among batches, which is critical to our adipogenesis projects using primary stem cells. Also, the service from PurMa is outstanding for my lab.
