TriLink BioTechnologies and Alphazyme, both part of Maravai LifeSciences (MRVI), have collaborated to launch CleanScribe™ RNA Polymerase, a novel enzyme that reduces double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in mRNA production by up to 85%. This innovation helps develop safer, more potent mRNA therapeutics without compromising mRNA yield, capping efficiency, or integrity.

CleanScribe RNA Polymerase catalyzes the in vitro transcription (IVT) of recombinant genes regulated by the T7 promoter, significantly reducing dsRNA formation compared to wild-type T7 RNA Polymerase. The product is ideal for mRNA synthesis, saRNA synthesis, radiolabeled RNA probe preparation, and RNA construct development.

TriLink also offers mRNA capping analogs, raw materials, advanced scale-up capabilities, and expertise in mRNA, oligonucleotide, and enzyme production. With over 25 years of nucleic acid experience, TriLink provides high-quality technology, chemistry, and CDMO services for advancing therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostics.

Cygnus Technologies and TriLink BioTechnologies, both part of Maravai LifeSciences (NASDAQ: MRVI), have collaborated to launch Cygnus' AccuRes™ Host Cell DNA Quantification Kits. These kits are designed to recover, amplify, and quantify remaining host cell DNA during biologic drug manufacturing, helping to produce safer and more stable vaccines and therapies.

The AccuRes kits use probe-based quantification for specificity and are compatible with any qPCR instrument that detects FAM signal. They offer unparalleled sensitivity with a limit of detection of 0.6 fg/µL. The all-in-one kit includes reagents for DNA extraction, AccuRes PCR master mix, primer/probe mix, and DNA standard.

This collaboration combines Cygnus' proprietary extraction procedure with TriLink's patented CleanAmp® dNTPs and a Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase, aiming to surpass regulatory standards for host cell DNA levels in biotherapeutics.
