This paper reviews the importance of maintaining low temperature storage and handling (i.e., cold chain) for animal serum through all stages of processing, from finished product to the actual end-user. This cold chain extends from serum manufacture through the irradiation process, during shipment back to the supplier post-irradiation, as well as storage at supplier, irradiation, and end-user facilities. Anecdotal experience and theoretical considerations emphasize the point that maintenance of the cold chain is necessary for preserving the performance of serum for cell culture and other applications…
