Gibco LV-MAX Production Medium is a chemically defined, serum-free, protein-free medium, specially developed for high-density growth and transfection of Gibco Viral Production Cells (suspension-adapted HEK 293-derived cells) promoting high-titer lentiviral production.

  • Supports growth of suspension Viral Production Cells to densities of over 1.0 x 107 cells/mL
  • Enables sustained, high-level production of high-density transiently transfected cultures, achieving titer of up to 1 x 108 TU/mL (unconcentrated LVVs-GFP)
  • Supports growth and transfection of Viral Production Cells in culture formats from 96-deep well blocks to 2-L flasks and bioreactors

LV-MAX Production Medium is ready to use, with no supplementation required. The chemically defined formulation results in high reproducibility and lot-to-lot reliability. The medium is not recommended for adherent cell cultures.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What are the major differences between LV-MAX and CTS LV- MAX products?

The LV-MAX and CTS LV- MAX products have equivalent performance. In contrast to the research use only LV-MAX products, CTS LV-MAX products have an additional intended use for cell and gene therapy applications, and are complemented with a more robust regulatory support package to enable clinical therapeutic applications. This means that to the best of our ability, we keep our CTS product specifications and release requirements up-to-date in accordance with the latest regulatory guidance specific for this intended use.

What is the intended use claim for your LV-MAX and CTS LV-MAX products?

Our LV-MAX products are intended for research use only while our CTS LV- MAX products are intended for research use or manufacture of cell, gene or tissue based products. Please refer to the individual products for further details on the intended use claim.

Do you offer a lentivirus production service?

Yes. Please provide your details here (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/global/forms/life-science/lentiviral-vector-production-get-info.html) and mention your interest in our lentivirus production services. A member of our services team will contact you shortly.

Find additional tips, troubleshooting help, and resources within our Transfection Support Center.

With the LV-MAX Production System, are the lentiviral particles stable in packaging media?

Lentiviral particles packaged in our LV-MAX Production Medium will be stable at 4 degrees C for 24 hours and will then begin to lose activity. For long-term storage, we recommend storing at –80 degrees C.

With the LV-MAX Production System, can I use cell lines besides HT1080 for titering my lentivirus?

We strongly recommend the human fibrosarcoma line HT1080 (ATCC, Cat. No. CCL-121) as the “gold standard” for reproducibly titering lentivirus. However, you may wish to use the same mammalian cell line to titer your lentiviral stocks as you will use to perform your expression studies (e.g., if you are performing expression studies in a dividing cell line or a non-primary cell line). If you have more than one lentiviral construct, we recommend that you titer all of the lentiviral constructs using the same mammalian cell line.
