Bovine Serum Collection
Bovine serum is the end product of bovine blood usually collected from animals at the time of slaughter. Blood collection from calves or adult cattle in slaughter house is performed under clean, controlled conditions. Blood is collected aseptically using equipment designed to protect the material from microbial contamination. The serum collection and processing is carefully monitored. The serum is separated from blood, processed, filtered, filled in containers and stored at -20°C. The serum manufactured under controlled conditions consistently meets all relevant rules and regulations and the specific requirements of the customer.
Bovine Serum Processing
Serum samples are tested using approved tests to confirm freedom from bacteria and other microorganisms. Appropriate biochemical and biological tests are performed. Gram negative bacteria produce toxins such as endotoxins that could be harmful. Only appropriate processing steps can assure freedom from such harmful substances. Viruses are common contaminants of serum and cannot be removed by sterile filtration methods. Track and trace system of each process step and the results of all testing performed provide complete data of each individual batch of serum that is supplied to the customer. In addition serum should be certified as BSE/TSE free. Sourcing of serum from BSE/TSE free regions, safe collection and processing in a protected environment are of great importance.
