CRISPR RNP-Based Genome Editing with cGMP Capacity
Aldevron now offers a full RNP* service solution to streamline your CRISPR reagents into therapies. Working with your unique guide RNAs (gRNAs), we’ve defined the optimal conditions for complexing, characterizing, and storing CRISPR RNPs created with Aldevron research and cGMP-grade CRISPR/Cas9 proteins.
Aldevron provides multiple solutions for your CRISPR-associated gene editing program using RNPs. We have leveraged our expertise in CRISPR nuclease manufacturing to build a comprehensive RNP production service for your optimal final gene editing drug substance. This is done by utilizing either our readily available cGMP-grade nucleases or manufacturing a custom nuclease to your specific needs to produce the desired RNP complex.

Regulatory Support
In therapeutic workflows, the composition of the CRISPR RNP complex needs to be well characterized. Aldevron uses novel, in-house methods to quantify activity and complexed RNP relative to uncomplexed Cas9 or gRNA. Our proprietary release panels are compliant with 21CFR210-211 and designed to meet current guidance from the FDA regarding gene editing components for human genome editing.
