Protecting Premium FBS for Life Science Leader

Cytiva is a life science company with a history of technical innovation dating back hundreds of years. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) has been key to the company’s success – and an area of strength that the business needed to protect.

To ensure they could protect the quality of their premium HyClone™ FBS products, Cytiva turned to Oritain.

Meeting the Demands for Quality Serum

Cytiva is renowned for their premium HyClone™ FBS products, which are used by businesses in a range of research, biopharma and gene therapy applications.

Serum from certain geographic areas are required by customers to maintain specification and regulatory standards - as such they can command a price advantage for manufacturers.

Cytiva's serum exceeds industry standards for quality, purity, and regulatory compliance.

But in an industry expecting the highest standards, Cytiva needed a reliable tool to prove their products were genuine - ensuring they could be confident in the integrity of their supply chain and reassuring customers of the value they were buying.

For Cytiva, a science-based product required a science-based solution.

Ensuring Authenticity & Minimizing Fraud

Cytiva trusted Oritain's scientific traceability to verify the country of origin of their premium HyClone™ FBS products from the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.

Origin verification is critical to ensure that label descriptions are an accurate representation of product origin – and that customers can be assured of the product contents.

By analyzing FBS samples from different regions, Oritain created a unique origin fingerprint database exclusive to each country of origin.

This scientific origin verification is combined with traceability documentation to define the entire journey of a serum product, from collection at site of origin through manufacturing and distribution, providing a full picture of a product’s history.

“By partnering with Oritain, we are committing to supply our customers with products of exceptional quality and integrity.”
