Serum you’ll love, developed by Dr. Spendlove

No, it’s not the backdrop of a 1960’s spy movie, but the origin of our HyClone™ sera definitely has plot twists! It starts in 1967 when Dr. Rex Spendlove, then a professor at Utah State University, was studying a viral disease that was fatal to children. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) was integral to his research, but serum quality at the time was so poor that he had to create his own. The end result? The development of the first HyClone™ product, which went on to influence many of the serum collection, filtration, and processing techniques used today.
