Hektor without all amino acids

Medium

4°C

The chemically defined protein- and peptide-free Hektor media were originally developed for the cultivation of kidney-derived human cell lines and the expression of recombinant glycoproteins in HEK 293, HEK 293T and HEK 293EBNA cells. Hektor media have also been used for the adaptation of serum-dependent Vero cells to serum-free culture conditions.
The authenticated and certified serum-free 293-Hektor cell line (ECACC accession no. 05030204) and Vero-Hektor cell line (ECACC accession no. 03092503) available at the European Collection of Animal Cell Cultures are routinely maintained and banked with Hektor G medium.

Hektor G-adapted 293 cells can be easily transferred to the nutrient-enriched Hektor S medium for bioprocess development and production.
Among the main advantages, the total absence of large molecules from Hektor media facilitates the purification of retroviral particles for cell and gene therapy applications.
