GMP-Source® Plasmid DNA

GMP-Source® Plasmid DNA

A faster, cost-effective alternative to GMP production, GMP-Source® (GMP-S) plasmid DNA can be manufactured to standard or customizable specifications. Adopting the most relevant features of cGMP manufacturing, including traceability, document control and materials segregation, GMP-Source plasmid DNA can be used as an ancillary or critical raw material for producing protein and viral candidates used in clinical trials.

Accompanied by a comprehensive manufacturing summary report suitable for regulatory submissions, we deliver high-quality products to fit your GMP-Source project.

Requesting a GMP-Source Project

Aldevron employs a predictable and streamlined entry for our GMP-S manufacturing process. In this system, we require the items listed below to be completed prior to project initiation, to ensure accurate scheduling is completed. These include:

  1. Complete, executed, GMP-S Proposal
  2. Receipt of Purchase Order/Payment information
  3. Receipt and research grade screening of starting material (if not starting from an existing Aldevron-produced Master Cell Bank)
  4. Full execution of Aldevron Manufacturing Specification forms

Once these items have been received or completed, our team will provide target completion timeframes so you can better manage your process.
