Gamma-Irradiated
Treated with a validated gamma irradiation dose (typically 25–45 kGy) for additional inactivation of viral and microbial contaminants.
GMP-Adjacent Workflows
Suited to biomanufacturing and ATMP-related processes where additional viral safety margins are required.
Batch Documentation
CoA, CoO, TSE/BSE statement and irradiation dose confirmation available with every shipment.
Cold-Chain Delivery
Temperature-controlled shipment across the EU and UK, with no minimum order quantity.
Additional viral safety for sensitive biomanufacturing
While all SeamlessBio FBS batches are sourced from certified, BSE-controlled herds and tested for mycoplasma and BVDV, some downstream applications — particularly ATMP manufacturing, cell and gene therapy production, and other GMP-adjacent processes — benefit from an additional, validated viral inactivation step.
Gamma irradiation achieves this by exposing the serum to a controlled dose of ionising radiation, which inactivates viral and microbial contaminants without the heat exposure associated with heat inactivation, helping to preserve the serum's native growth factor and protein profile.
This makes gamma-irradiated FBS a common choice where regulatory documentation needs to demonstrate an explicit, validated viral clearance step beyond standard serum sourcing and testing controls.
Typical applications
- ATMP and cell therapy manufacturing
- Gene therapy production workflows
- GMP-adjacent biomanufacturing
- Vaccine production
- Applications requiring documented viral clearance
- Sensitive cell lines in regulated environments

Gamma irradiation adds a validated step against viruses and microorganisms without heating the serum, so growth factors are kept. It is the usual choice when your documentation has to show an explicit viral inactivation step, for example in ATMP, cell and gene therapy or vaccine processes.

Frequently asked questions
Heat inactivated or gamma irradiated – what is the difference?
Heat inactivation (56 °C) switches off complement. Gamma irradiation inactivates viruses and microorganisms without heating. They solve different problems.
Can I test the lot before I order?
Yes, on request. We send a test sample of the lot you would receive, so you can check it in your own assay first. Testing usually takes 6–8 weeks.
Can you reserve a lot for us?
Yes. Once the sample works, we reserve the lot for up to 36 months and ship on call. No prepayment is needed.
