Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) that has been functionally tested for optimal use with all of our Tet Systems. This FBS does not contain trace levels of tetracycline (or its derivatives) which have been observed to interfere with proper regulation of TRE-controlled gene expression. Use of this serum ensures the maximal range of induction possible with the Tet Systems.
