What are the advantages and disadvantages of foetal bovine serum?
The primary advantage of fetal bovine serum (FBS) is that is contains essential proteins and nutrients that are required for the growth of eukaryotic cells in culture. It becomes far too laborious to create an artificial medium that contains ALL the components required for mammalian cell growthin vitro. Therefore, FBS is used as a media component. The disadvantages however, are the cost and the fact that the exact composition of FBS is not known. Since the product is obtained from an animal source, the components in FBS are not precisely quantified. Also, there could be slight variations in the quality of FBS from one batch to another. However, with modern day Biotechnology industries investing on quality control and quality assurance, the second disadvantage is taken care of. Despite the cost, FBS remains an invaluable media component in research work concerning mammalian cells
What is in the FBS that inhibits the trypsin?
Serum protease inhibitor alpha-1-antitrypsin
Hela cells survive in a laboratory for how long?
Well, Hela cells are basically immortal cell line . They will keep growing if they are provided with appropriate media (e.g DMEM,10 % FCS/FBS & antibiotic). Moreover , you should also check for the cellular confluence, if its higher than 90 % then your cells start to die and you need to harvest them again.
What technique of studying the brain involves recording the electrical activity of large groups of cortical neurons?
The technique of studying the brain involving the electrical activity of the large groups of cortical neurons is calles an EEG. The process of conducting an EEG is to place electrodes on different parts of the scalp and recording the electrical signals.
What are intermediate fibers?
A framework, "net" or "basket-like" structure found in cells. AKA: intermediate filaments or microfiliments. They provide structure for the cell and are an important component of the cytoskeleton. During cell division the filiments enable the cell to pinch off into 2 cells and are involved in amoeboid movements of certain types of cells. They also anchor organelles to parts of the cell.

Why bovine serum albumin is used in cell culture media?
Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is the most widely used serum-supplement for the in vitro cell culture of eukaryotic cells. It provides a medium with very low levels of antibodies, with growth promoting factors, allowing for diversity in a wide range of cell cultures.
What does the medical abbreviation FBS mean?
Fasting Blood SugarFetal Bovine Serum is a culture medium
When was FBS Radio Network Inc. created?
FBS Radio Network Inc. was created in 1972.
When your blood pressure result is FBS 98 what does it means?
FBS = fasting blood sugar, which is not a measure of blood pressure. It is a measure of your blood sugar level after fasting. Since your FBS is less than 100 mg / dL, you are not showing signs of diabetes. This is a good FBS.
What college division is Alabama in?
University of Alabama Birmingham (FBS)Auburn University (FBS)University of Alabama (FBS)Alabama State University (FCS)Alabama A&M University (FCS)University of South Alabama (FCS)Troy State University (FBS)Jacksonville State University (FCS)
Fbs collection tube use?
gray
What color tube do you collect a fbs in?
I'm 90% sure that a FBS(fasting glucose) is drawn into a SST(serum seperator tube) A.k.a. "tiger top".
What schools have the fewest bowl appearances especially from BCS conferences?
There are 4 FBS schools that have never been to a bowl: Florida International University (only in FBS since 2005) (Will play in the 2010 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl) University of Louisiana at Monroe (only in FBS since 2001) Louisiana-Lafayette (in FBS since 1991) Western Kentucky University (in FBS since 1982) University of Connecticut of the Big East has been to 4 Bowl games making them the BCS team with the fewest bowls.
What color tube do you use for a FBS test?
