A scalable purification strategy for removal of dsRNA byproducts following IVT RNA production

This webinar will outline a scalable and efficient affinity solution for removal of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from RNA produced via in vitro transcription (IVT). This includes mRNA, circular RNA, self-amplifying RNA, and trans-amplifying RNA. dsRNA byproducts are large, highly immunogenic, and cannot be removed with common bioprocessing steps such as TFF, or olig-dT affinity chromatography.

Gain insights and review case study data on a novel and scalable approach to dsRNA removal that utilizes a scavenger resin in a rapid flow-through processing step, in order to achieve a 2-3 log reduction in dsRNA levels. mRNA recoveries are typically >90%, and the flow-through operation results in simple optimization when compared to a bind/elute chromatography step.

Attend this webinar to learn about:

  • Common dsRNA byproducts, so as to clearly define their size, nature, and impact on RNA production via IVT
  • Comprehensive analytical characterization and quantification of dsRNA levels in transcribed RNA
  • Real-world feed data demonstrating an effective dsRNA removal process with proven 2-3 log reductions and high-yield recovery rates exceeding 90%, ensuring minimal product loss during purification steps
  • Streamlined, scalable purification processes that simplify workflows and accelerate production timelines
