RNA Design & Development Headline
Stability starts at the sequence. We fiercely enable your design.
Imagine having access to a comprehensive range of specialized products and services for mRNA production that can significantly reduce supply-chain risks, shorten lead times, and enhance quality. Whether you need enzymes for mRNA synthesis in various configurations—from Research Grade to cGMP drug substance and product—or specific options for capping, tailing, and chemical modification, you can find everything you need to support your program development. mRNA production can begin with an electronic DNA template sequence or supercoiled plasmid DNA provided by the client, supported by process development, scale-up, and analytics required to move your project into clinical trials and beyond.
mRNA Construct Design & Optimization
Aldevron's state-of-the-art quality systems ensure your material meets your specifications. From cloning, verification, restriction digestion, strain selection, cell banking, and plasmid preparation, we meticulously manage every step to guarantee the integrity and efficacy of the mRNA sequence. Whether for research or clinical applications, our commitment to quality ensures the mRNA you receive is of the utmost importance and reliability.
Strain Selection and Optimization
- Test 2-3 E.coli strains
- Generate a design space for process conditions, including multiple temp and media components
- Develop a small-scale model for full-scale production
cGMP Master Cell Bank generation
- Generate cell bank for use in research and cGMP projects
- Enable faster project execution during late-stage clinical phases
LNP Formulation
LNP formulation is important for long-term success of any RNA drug product. We partner with Cytiva and Acuitas to work with you on LNP formulation. These partnerships and capabilities assure that you have access to all the essentials for mRNA vaccine and therapeutic development, including:
- Encapsulation technology and expertise
- A lipid library as an initial step for screening
- Multiple platforms to optimize consistency and encapsulation efficiency
- Scale based to support various stages of development The Aldevron Advantage
Providing our clients with options, from the simplest starting material to the most complex manufacturing operation, is part of our culture. Our aim is to bring innovation to each step of the journey.
