Rapid mRNA Production

Over the past three years, we have established an end-to-end manufacturing work flow for the high-throughput production of mRNA-LNPs. Our advanced processes enable the rapid and reliable manufacture of high-quality mRNA-LNPs. These processes include cell-free DNA template production, automated liquid handling, and a quality management system.
