One Shot FBS

End the need to aliquot FBS

Aliquoting FBS into 50 mL conical tubes increases the chances of compromising your results. The One Shot FBS 50 mL bottle’s size and design eliminates your need to aliquot FBS, putting you in control of your time, contamination risk, and volume consistency.

Pour and pipet with ease

The bottle’s wide mouth and chamfered edge enable smooth, burp-free pouring. In addition, whether pouring or using a 25 or 50 mL pipette, you’ll be able to get every last drop.

Stop the freeze-thaw-repeat cycle

Skipping the FBS aliquot step means you only have to freeze then thaw your serum once—saving considerable time and effort. Because the bottles are engineered to withstand freezing, they won’t crack and pop their lids like conical tubes often do.

End labeling mishaps

Missing SKU or lot numbers, expiration dates, origin—or even the entire label—can cause a chain reaction of problems. The One Shot bottle has an easy-to-read package label, so you know exactly what you’re using.

Free up freezer space

The One Shot FBS package design is optimized to ease the burden of FBS storage on your freezer capacity, improving FBS storage in your lab. In fact, the One Shot FBS 10 x 50 mL carton allows you to store up 57 L more than our 100 mL bottle.

Pack the rack for convenient FBS storage

Your test tube racks aren’t just for conical tubes anymore. The One Shot FBS 50 mL bottle fits in most test tube racks—including strong, durable 30 mm Nalgene Unwire Racks. So, you get the convenience of fit in an easy-pour, easy-store, aliquot-free bottle.

Create less waste by eliminating FBS aliquots

The One Shot FBS 50 mL bottle generates 33% less waste than aliquoting from 500 mL bottles (Table 1). By using less plastic, less petroleum feedstock is consumed, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions are generated. By choosing One Shot FBS, a typical customer using 20 L of FBS per year would gain almost 7 hours back and generate 7 lb less plastic waste. This is a significant benefit both to lab productivity and the environment.

Pair for best performance

The 50 mL bottle size is a perfect match for use with a 500 mL bottle of Gibco RPMI, DMEM, or other Gibco cell culture media. This complete media pairing can help maximize performance and reproducibility.
