Preclinical
Our technical experts support the journey from the initial concept through mRNA synthesis, custom lipids, and screening and optimizing lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for nucleic acid payloads.
Clinical
The technology transfer and scalability of the process to clinical GMP manufacturing is crucial. With Millipore® CTDMO Services, our team supports in scaling up and bringing your mRNA-LNP based drug program to the clinic, focusing on process efficiency as well as achieving regulatory compliance.
Commercial
Ensuring compliance to GMP standards regarding manufacturing, quality, safety, and efficacy is essential for the mRNA-LNP based therapeutics and vaccines journey to commercialization. Our experts help maintain the speed clients need by supporting risk assessment and management efforts and by adhering to quality requirements to accelerate time to market.
Our Offering
mRNA
We specialize in the production of fully customized, functional mRNAs and provide full technical support from project design and sequence optimization to data for investigational new drug (IND) dossiers. With our proven PCR-based workflow, mRNA manufacturing is highly reproducible, and the final product has excellent properties.
- Next generation PCR-based process for high quality mRNA
- Fully customized mRNA manufacturing
- Preclinical to GMP commercial scale - from mg to kg*
* We can start process and analytical development for GMP projects in Q3 2023. Transfer into GMP manufacturing facilities in Q1 2024.
Lipids
We are highly specialized in synthesizing top-quality, GMP lipids for pharmaceutical applications and gene therapy, focusing on tailored manufacturing to meet our client’s specific needs.
- High quality synthetic products
- Flexibility with custom and portfolio offering
- Small to large scale GMP lipids – from grams to tons
Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP)
With Millipore® CTDMO Services we support pioneers in bringing their API (mRNA, siRNA, cas9RNA, etc.) to patients. From preclinical to clinical and commercial manufacturing, we use 20 years of manufacturing experience to make client projects successful.
- Formulation development via high throughput screening from multiple lipid libraries and process optimization
- In-house transfer to GMP
- Preclinical to GMP commercial scale from ml to several hundred liters
- In-house transfer from LNP manufacturing to Fill Finish
- Batch volumes < 1L to 1,200L
Analytical Development & Quality Control
Given the unique characteristics of the mRNA/LNP complex, new expertise and a series of novel analytical capabilities are required to ensure fast, efficacious, and compliant mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics. Our testing services for mRNA starting materials, drug substance, and drug product include:
- Purity and product-related impurities
- Safety
- Strength, identity, and potency
- Product characterization and quality
- Compendial testing
