Continuing The Legacy

Announcing the Acquisition of Optima, Premium Select, and Premium Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS)

GeminiBio has acquired the manufacturing and global sales rights for Optima, Premium Select, and Premium Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), formerly sold under the Atlanta Biologicals and Bio-Techne/R&D Systems brands.

With a strong 39-year history of supporting FBS customers, GeminiBio is committed to continuing the legacy of Atlanta Biologicals (R&D Systems) FBS products – over the long-term. 

To ensure a smooth transition, GeminiBio will maintain the same product names, specifications, part numbers, and supply chain you rely on. The only change will be the rebranding of these products under the GeminiBio label.

As a result of our combined FBS product lines, customers will benefit from GeminiBio’s larger FBS market position via improved choice and supply chain security.

Additional FBS Services

Heat Inactivation and Gamma Irradiation

01 / 03

Gamma Irradiation (GI) – For customers requiring gamma irradiation, FBS part numbers should carry a “G” extension.  For example, 500mL Optima FBS would be ordered as S12450G.  Note that GI services include an additional fee and may include longer lead times.

Heat Activation (HI) – For the foreseeable future, GeminiBio will not have separate part numbers for heat inactivated (HI) FBS.  Customers can simply order their desired FBS by part number and request HI services.  GeminiBio will then heat inactivate prior to shipment at no charge.

Cold Storage 

02 / 03

GeminiBio will store customer-owned product for up to 12 months in our cGMP drive-in freezer.

Custom Manufacturing 

03 / 03

Standard bottles sizes are 500 mL, with the option to fill into custom sized containers.
