Description
Product Overview
SeamlessBio Human Serum – Type AB (Male Donor) is obtained from certified donor centers in the European Union and the United States, collected under controlled and traceable conditions.
Each batch is sterile filtered at 0.2 µm, heat inactivated or gamma irradiated, ensuring the highest level of purity and biosafety for cell culture and diagnostic use.
Type AB serum is free of anti-A and anti-B antibodies, making it ideal for applications where cross-reactivity must be minimized — such as immunology, cell therapy, antibody production, and diagnostic assays.
This physiologically balanced serum provides consistent performance and reproducibility across experiments. Learn more about what Human AB Serum is and how it is used in cell culture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Human Serum Type AB (Male) suitable for cell culture?
Type AB serum contains no anti-A or anti-B antibodies, eliminating cross-reactivity that could interfere with cells or assays. Male donor serum is preferred because it avoids hormone variability associated with female donors. Combined with 0.2 µm sterile filtration and heat inactivation or gamma irradiation, it delivers a clean, physiologically balanced supplement for primary cell expansion and sensitive assay applications.
What is the difference between heat inactivated and gamma irradiated Human Serum?
Heat inactivation (56 °C, 30 min) destroys complement proteins, reducing non-specific activation in immunological assays. Gamma irradiation provides additional inactivation of viruses and mycoplasma while largely preserving growth factors and proteins. The choice depends on your application: heat inactivation is standard for most cell culture work, while gamma irradiation is preferred for higher biosafety requirements or GMP-adjacent processes.
Is Human Serum Type AB available in GMP-compatible quality?
SeamlessBio supplies Human Serum sourced from ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified partner facilities, with full batch documentation including CoA, Certificate of Origin, and BSE/TSE statements. For GMP-regulated processes, we offer batch reservation up to 36 months and can provide additional regulatory documents on request. Contact us to discuss your specific compliance requirements.
Can I reserve a specific batch of Human Serum for long-term studies?
Yes — batch reservation is available for up to 36 months. This ensures lot-to-lot consistency for longitudinal studies, regulatory submissions, or manufacturing processes that require a validated, fixed serum lot. Contact our team with your required volume and timeline and we will reserve the validated batch for your programme.
What documentation is included with Human Serum Type AB from SeamlessBio?
Every order ships with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Additional documentation — including BSE/TSE statement, Certificate of Origin (COO), sterility certificate, and MSDS — is available on request. All materials are sourced from certified donor centers and processed under traceable, documented conditions.
