The mission of the 3Rs Center Utrecht Life Sciences (ULS) is to stimulate the development, application, and acceptance of methods that can Replacement, Reduction and Refinement (3Rs) of animal experiments. As part of the 3Rs database programme of the 3Rs Center Utrecht Life Sciences (ULS), I am updating the FCS-free Database (fcs-free.org). The FCS-free Database provides an overview of the range of commercially available FCS-free media and cell-culture medium compositions obtained from scientific literature. The aim of the FCS-free Database is to make information on FCS-free cell culture freely available to contribute to the implementation of the 3Rs in animal research
