I wish to deprive my cells of glucose, so I need a glucose-free fetal bovine serum. I would like to prepare it by myself. Does someone have a protocol for serum dialysis? Thanks a lot!
There are dialysed FBS from most vendors for your purpose, saving you time and money. Glucose comes mostly from the medium, not the serum (only 10% of regular concentration). So, choose a low glucose medium is more important than using glucose-free serum.
Alina Marie Winkelkotte Hi Alina, can you tell me where you got that information from? I've been wondering about this too and so far I've read varying answers, from < 5mg/dL and 1.25 mg/ml. Thank you!
