New, Highly Efficient CleanCap^® Yields More Active mRNA

TriLink BioTechnologies, a leader in oligonucleotide and mRNA synthesis for research, diagnostics and therapeutics, introduces CleanCap – a patented mRNA capping method that overcomes many drawbacks of existing technology. CleanCap, which is available built into TriLink BioTechnologies products or in bulk for customer use, exhibits superior capping efficiencies for higher yield, along with time and cost savings.

"Capping is a critical process in creating viable mRNA constructs that remain biologically active and avoid self/non-self intracellular responses,” explains Anton McCaffrey, Ph.D., senior director of R&D for TriLink BioTechnologies. “By changing the chemical approach and streamlining the workflow, we can deliver an all-around better capping product, whether the customer buys it in bulk for his/her own capping, or purchases mRNA from us that incorporates the technology."

CleanCap mRNA is stocked and available from TriLink BioTechnologies for common applications and experiments in standard constructs such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, reporter gene, gene replacement, dye-labeled and antigens. Custom mRNA constructs with CleanCap technology can also be ordered.
