Cell culture media play a crucial role in cell biology, providing the necessary environment for cells to grow, proliferate, and differentiate. For researchers, understanding the components and applications of various culture media is important. They can proceed to tailor these media to meet the specific needs of different cell types, ensuring successful cell culture.

Cell culture refers to laboratory methods that enable the growth of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells in physiological conditions. It is a versatile tool used in the investigation of basic scientific and translation of research questions.

Demand for serums to support the manufacture of biologicals had been surging even before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the pandemic further fueled the flames. Among them is the fetal bovine serum (FBS), a common component of animal cell culture media.
