Why buy U.S. made FBS?
As more and more of manufacturing jobs go overseas, it’s important to see why one should buy American-made Fetal Bovine Serum.
Quality The quality cannot be surpassed. Strict attention and care in the manufacturing process is given, and it’s not left to another country where standards may not be as high. Many of these standards are required by law in the U.S.
Contact If any contact is needed with the manufacturer, it’s is simple because you are dealing with folks directly, in the same language, who have an individual interest in you as the customer.
Price Because you are dealing with the manufacturer directly, large quantities can be ordered for the best price possible. There aren’t middle-men between you and the manufacturer to raise the cost of what you are paying.
Tissue Culture Biologicals was founded in the U.S. and continues to maintain manufacturing in the U.S. All of our products are manufactured under the Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines, established by the F.D.A. We are here to answer any questions you may have and deliver quality products that keep you a returning client. Give us a call today!

Incubators: Keeping Your Cells in Style

The home of your cell culture and tissue culture work can be nearly everything that you need it to be, if you know what to look for. An incubator will protect your cells from wide-ranging changes in temperature, humidity, CO2 levels and O2levels (also known as hypoxia, or hypoxic conditions). Incubators are also safe havens for your next big idea. Here you can find some important qualities and what to look for in incubators, your cells’ home away from home.
Temperature control
Every time someone opens the door of an incubator, they disrupt the temperature of the interior. Currents of warm and cool air swirl around inside, and the incubator’s temperature control system must work to return the interior’s temperature to the set level. Water jackets are one type of mechanism that makes incubators less susceptible to fluctuating temperatures; water jackets can be particularly valuable in the event of a power failure.
Although water jackets offer many advantages, they also can incur disadvantages: maintenance includes draining and filling with water and adding algaecide; also, the water is heavy enough to make it difficult to move the incubator without first draining the jacket. Hoping to lighten the load, Caron recently introduced its new GelJacket™ technology. The 10-cubic foot GelJacket benchtop CO2 incubator (offered in non-refrigerated or refrigerated models) retains uniform heating and also includes other vital features, such as a decontamination cycle, infrared (IR) sensor for CO2 control (see below) and humidity control without a water pan (see below). “Caron’s new GelJacket incubator easily exceeds the thermal protection of water jacket incubators by retaining a far greater amount of heat than any other insulation technology available in CO2 incubators,” says Leah Harris, director of marketing communications at Caron. “In addition, the GelJacket incubator includes a 90˚C moist heat decontamination cycle, not possible in water jackets. GelJacket’s sealed gel requires no maintenance, is lightweight and has virtually no risk of leaking.”
