Pre-tested on Amniocytes and Chorionic Villi Cells

Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS), as a source of speci­fic growth factors, is necessary for cell cultivation. However, only specially selected sera batches meet the requirements for amniocytes and chorionic villi cell ­culture. PAA determines in cooperation with inde­pendent cytogenetic laboratories which batches are suitable by carrying out extensive tests, namely by:

 

  • Quantitative growth assays on primary cultures of amniocytes and chorionic villi cells
  • Determination of growth rates
  • Producing karyograms after preparing metaphase chromosomes
  • Monitoring results against reference standards


Extensive batch-specific quality control testing gua­rantees constant quality as well as excellent growth characteristics. PAA manufactures cell culture products according to current GMP. Further quality control and quality assurance are carried out to the highest stan­dards as required by the biopharmaceutical industry.
