Description
Horse Serum (Equine Serum) is a biological supplement derived from the blood of healthy, slaughtered horses. It provides a rich source of proteins, growth factors, and hormones that support cell viability and proliferation across a broad range of research and diagnostic applications.
Product Overview
Horse Serum EU Origin – Sterile Filtered Equine Serum for Cell Culture and Research
The SeamlessBio Horse Serum is sourced from healthy, slaughtered animals in compliance with EU animal welfare regulations and processed under GMP-aligned controlled conditions. Each batch is sterile filtered at 0.2 µm and extensively quality-tested to guarantee reproducibility, purity, and safety for your laboratory workflows.
Horse Serum contains natural growth factors, proteins, and hormones that promote stable cell growth and differentiation, making it a reliable supplement for cell culture, immunological assays, antibody production, and bioprocess development.
Transporter Profile
Unlike FBS, equine serum offers a distinct protein and growth factor composition particularly suited to primary cell culture, hybridoma cultivation, and immunological applications. Its lower cost relative to FBS and broader availability in EU-compliant supply chains make it an attractive alternative for non-GMP research settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Horse Serum differ from Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS)?
Horse Serum has a distinct protein and growth factor composition compared to FBS. It is often used as a lower-cost alternative for non-GMP applications, hybridoma culture, and protocols where equine serum is specifically indicated. FBS remains the standard for most mammalian cell culture applications.
Is batch reservation available for Horse Serum?
Yes — batch reservation is available. Contact our team with your required volume and timeline and we will hold the validated lot for your programme duration, up to 36 months.
What documentation is included with every shipment?
Every order includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Additional documentation — COO, MSDS, BSE/TSE statements, sterility certificates — is available on request at no extra charge.
