Tet System Approved FBS

Additional information

Brand

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.

Overview

  • The only fetal bovine serum that is functionally tested with our tetracycline-inducible expression systems.
  • Proven track record—20 years providing Tet Approved FBS
  • Ensures lowest background expression with our Tet-On 3G and Tet-One Systems
  • Two versions of Tet System Approved FBS are available:
    • A premium cell-culture serum that is collected in the United States.
    • Tet System Approved FBS: a more economical alternative obtained from non-US, USDA-approved sources.
    • All sera are subjected to the same rigorous testing to ensure full inducibility.

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) approved for use with tetracycline-inducible expression systems

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) approved for use with tetracycline inducible expression systems. Only Takara Bio USA functionally tests FBS to be sure that no contaminating tetracycline derivatives interfere with induced expression levels.

Our fetal bovine serum is functionally tested to guarantee consistent results with tetracycline-inducible expression systems

Our fetal bovine serum is functionally tested to guarantee consistent results with tetracycline-inducible expression systems

Fetal bovine serum from Clontech is functionally tested to guarantee consistent results with tetracycline-inducible expression systems. Serum from other vendors that have not been functionally tested may contain tetracyclines that affect the maximum expression in Tet-Off systems, or generate background in Tet-On systems. Data here shows induction of luciferase expression from our CHO-AA8-Luc Tet-Off Control Cell Line using different sources of FBS.
