Can I use Viral Production Cells (Cat. No. A35347, A35827) with the AAV MAX Helper-Free AAV Production System?
The Viral Production Cells 2.0 are specifically designed to work with the other components of the AAV MAX Helper-Free AAV Production System to provide maximal adeno-associated virus (AAV) titers. Viral Production Cells could be used but we don't recommend doing this as it will reduce system performance.
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.
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.
