CleanCap® technology
Accelerate therapeutic and vaccine development with an effective mRNA capping strategy
The 5’ cap structure is integral to the stability, expression, and immunogenicity of an mRNA product, but generating a synthetic cap can present manufacturing challenges and inefficiencies. The TriLink® proprietary CleanCap® technology is a one-pot solution which produces an optimal Cap1 structure with over 95% efficiency. Co-transcriptional capping with CleanCap® analogs overcomes the limitations of legacy capping methods, helping you bring your mRNA vaccine or therapeutic to market faster.
Streamline mRNA manufacturing processes and reduce costs
As momentum grows in the mRNA therapeutic and vaccine pipeline, development timelines are critical in the race to reach the market. Leveraging the CleanCap® co-transcriptional capping solution, you can cut mRNA therapeutic production processes by nearly one week and reduce overall manufacturing costs 20-40% lower than other capping methods.
By streamlining manufacturing, CleanCap® technology helps to ensure your mRNA program meets key development deadlines and cost-saving targets, increasing your likelihood of success in the path to the clinic.
Discover the CleanCap® technology difference
While an enzymatic capping reaction requires two separate bioreactor reactions to synthesize and cap mRNA, CleanCap® technology produces a Cap1 structure in a single co-transcriptional reaction. With only one purification and bioreactor step, this simplified process eliminates the need for additional reagents and enzymes while contributing to a high expected yield.
