These source animals have naturally high levels of transferrin
When the serum is supplemented with iron, the iron binds to the unbound transferrin, resulting in a product with three to four times the amount of available iron compared to FBS or equine serum. This product is an excellent, cost-effective alternative to FBS and often performs as well as FBS in many established cell lines. In some applications, it even out-performs FBS and equine serum.
