Newborn calf serum (NCS) is obtained from calves approximately two weeks of age. NCS contains higher levels of immunoglobulins and albumin than fetal bovine serum (FBS), making it a cost-effective and functionally appropriate alternative to FBS in selected applications.  
Serum is commonly added to cell culture media to support cell growth and serves multiple essential functions: it provides macromolecular proteins and low-molecular-weight nutrients—including amino acids, carbohydrates, and vitamins; enhances the buffering capacity of the medium; binds or neutralizes toxic substances; reduces oxidative stress and apoptosis; and supplies growth-promoting factors that aid cellular adaptation to the culture environment.
