It is obtained by natural coagulation of human blood without anticoagulant, from volunteer donors. This reference is a pooled product from multiple blood groups and genders. Sterility, endotoxin and hemoglobin levels, osmolality and cell culture performance are tested for each batch. HIV Type 1 and 2 (HIV1/2), Hepatitis B (HBs) and Hepatitis C (HCV) are screened for each human serum batch.
