mRNA CDMO services
mRNA IVT synthesis for research and discovery
Our expanded custom mRNA synthesis services are designed to meet the needs of your application and development phase. We have a solution for you regardless of where you are in your mRNA journey! Our team specializes in tailoring our support to deliver on your project requirements.
Why choose TriLink for your discovery mRNA project?
Highly customizable mRNA synthesis
TriLink’s RNA design components are highly customizable to meet your application's unique needs. mRNA design and optimization in the discovery stage set the foundation for successful scale-up and transition to GMP manufacturing.
mRNA synthesis capabilities
TriLink’s proprietary mRNA synthesis capabilities include CleanScript™ in vitro transcription method optimized to decrease dsRNA, scales ranging from milligram to multi-gram, and lengths ranging from a few hundred nucleotides to over 14 kilobases.
Modifications
CleanCap® capping technology achieves highly efficient and economical co-transcriptional mRNA capping with fewer processing steps. Leverage TriLink’s comprehensive portfolio of modified nucleotides for your mRNA program.
Purification options
Purification options include silica membrane purification, Oligo dT capture, and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Proprietary purification processes can be customized for your application.
mRNA formats to meet your project needs
Choose the custom mRNA offering below based on your application's needs. Easily obtain the format and amount of mRNA you need, from custom sets of mRNA for screening (0.1 mg target yield per construct) and hit-to-lead optimization studies (0.25 mg target yield per construct) to standard mRNA formats for preclinical studies (1 mg–20 g per construct).
- The custom sets of 20 to 96 mRNA constructs enable the testing of multiple candidate sequences with different combinations of 5’caps, modified NTPs, and poly(A) tails.
- The custom sets of 10 to 20 mRNA constructs enable you to test different sequences while holding functional variables constant. All sequences utilize the same 5’cap, modified nucleotides, purification, and formulation options.
- The standard format offers the most comprehensive selection of modifications for customization.  The standard offering includes both linear mRNA and self-amplifying RNA (saRNA). Additionally, each construct comes with the option to utilize our extensive in-house analytical services.

* Target yield is provided as an estimate only, as the actual yield for an individual construct can be impacted by several factors, including sequence length and composition, capping type, and modifications.
**Analytical Reports (AR) are available with quicker turnaround times, released by manufacturing, and do not include a QC/QA review. Certificates of Analyses (CoAs) include QC verification and release by QA and have a longer turnaround time than an Analytical Report.
***mRNA delivery time is dependent on the DNA template turnaround time and the complexity of the construct.
