Sera
The function of serum in cell cultures
Stimulates cell growth, proliferation and differentiation through hormonal factors- Adhesion factors facilitate and enhance cell attachment on culture dishes (bio-matrix)
- Transport and binding proteins provide hormones, minerals and lipids
- Inhibition of toxic substances by binding to serum proteins
Serum-free Systems
Function of serum in cell cultures
- Growth factors and hormones stimulate cell growth, proliferation and differentiation
- Attachment factors favour or enable the attachment of cells to the culture dish (biomatrix)
- Transport and binding proteins support the supply with hormones, minerals and lipids
- Serum proteins bind toxic substances and stabilize sensitive growth factors. However, the use of serum in cell cultures, usually fetal bovine serum (FBS), is problematic for several reasons.

Biologicals
- Introduction
- Cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines from PAN-Seratech.
- Cytokines are becoming increasingly important in cell biology. Sugar-containing proteins have regulating functions for the growth and differentiation of body cells. Many cytokines also play an important role in immunological reactions, and they are then generally referred to as mediators.
Cytokines, which primarily trigger and/or regulate the proliferation and differentiation of target cells, are known as growth factors. These proteins that are transferred as signals from one cell to another, and therefore relay information, play a role mainly in the development of multi-cellular organisms. Growth factors are either secreted i.e. released by the cells into the environment or they are membrane-bound.
Molecular Biology
- Background of Molecular Biology
- The field of molecular biology overlaps with biology and chemistry and in particular, genetics and biochemistry. Molecular biology looks at the molecular mechanisms behind processes such as replication, transcription, translation and cell function. One way to describe the basis of molecular biology is to say it concerns understanding how genes are transcribed into RNA and how RNA is then translated into protein.
- PAN-Seratech offers a wide selection of products for molecular biology applications such as products suitable for TA cloning, products that are ideal for problematic templates that fail with standard TaqDNA Polymerases, RNA analyisis, DNA sequencing and others.
- The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA (in vitro) across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. There are three major steps involved in the PCR technique: DNA-denaturation, primer annealing, and extension.
