mRNA Manufacturing and Formulation

Unleashing the power of mRNA technology to revolutionize how diseases are treated and prevented relies on robust and consistent processes to make the mRNA and then purify and formulate it. Our mRNA manufacturing template provides a robust workflow, while our lipid nanoparticle (LNP) manufacturing processes ensure a high-quality and consistent supply. Our portfolio and services, including our mRNA CDMO and testing services, address the most critical challenges in mRNA manufacturing enabling fast timelines and high-quality purified drug products. 

We also realize that protecting mRNA from degradation risks by RNases or microbial contamination is key to successful mRNA manufacturing, purification, and formulation. Thatā€™s why we offer our high-quality pharma raw materials that are tested for endonuclease activity and have low bioburden and endotoxin levels. Our pharma/biopharma raw materials also comply with IPEC-PQG GMP requirements and are part of the EmproveĀ®Program. The program offers comprehensive regulatory documentation and covers also some of our filters and single-use components and selected chromatography resins.

  • Highly reproducible process yielding mRNA with a homogeneous poly A tail and high performing product

 

Lipid Nanoparticle Formulation

Our portfolio lipids and custom lipid synthesis services help you bring your formulation to scale. As naked mRNA is unstable, drug delivery systems, such as lipid nanoparticles, are necessary to deliver mRNA to target cells. Selecting the right excipient and lipids is essential for successful encapsulation. We provide:

Cell Banking and Storage

Banking and storing your strains or plasmids are crucial parts of the mRNA manufacturing process. We offer banking and storage space for your stocks in various biorepository and storage facilities around the globe. You can also choose from our master viral seed stocks.
