#1 FBS vs Human Serum in Cell culture

Today I want to start with one of the most common questions I hear from researchers, diagnostic developers and viral vector teams:“Should we use FBS or Human Serum — and does it actually make a difference?”And the short answer is:Yes. It makes a big difference.But not always in the way people expect.Most labs choose serum based on tradition.“We’ve always used FBS.”Or: “We switched to Human Serum once and it didn’t work.”But when you look closer, you realize something important:The choice between FBS and Human Serum isn’t about which one is “better,” but about what you need to achieve in your specific model.
