Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If blended with other sera from different origins
Mixed blood fractions classify under other fractions, not pure FBS.
If unprocessed frozen bovine blood for non-medical use
Raw animal blood for food or feed is meat products, not prepared therapeutics.
If for general lab reagents without diagnostic claim
Non-therapeutic culture media shift out of Chapter 30 to prepared culture mediums.
