Services

RNA manufacturing and analytical services

RNA Forge provides off-the-shelf mRNAs, custom manufacturing, analytical services and technical development support for research and translational RNA programmes.

Technical capabilities

Specialised workflows for RNA development.

RNA Forge combines RNA manufacturing and analytical workflows to support material generation, process development and product understanding.

  • RNA synthesis and process development
  • Purification and formulation development
  • Bioanalytical assessment of RNA quality and process performance

RNA manufacturing charges

Defined products and custom manufacturing.

Choose a defined capped + N1mΨ catalogue sequence, then select an off-the-shelf amount. Requirements outside the catalogue sequences, formats or batch sizes are scoped as custom RNA manufacturing.

Prices in GBP, excluding VAT. Final pricing and billing currency confirmed in your quotation.

Catalogue mRNA options

Defined capped + N1mΨ reporter and Cas9 mRNAs for research workflows.

  • Enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) reporter mRNA
  • NanoLuciferase (NanoLuc) reporter mRNA
  • Firefly luciferase (FLuc) reporter mRNA
  • CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) mRNA

Prices shown exclude VAT. Catalogue prices and custom quotations may vary with project scope, construct format, turnaround requirements and agreed deliverables. A written quotation confirms applicable taxes, delivery and turnaround before project start.

Batch documentation

Certificate of Analysis supplied with catalogue batches.

Samples are supplied with a Certificate of Analysis generated from comprehensive characterisation of the production batch.

  • RNA content quantification by ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy
  • RNA size/integrity quantification by Fragment Analyser
  • Residual nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) quantification by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
  • Sequence identity confirmation by high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
  • Poly(A) tail length and heterogeneity quantification by high-resolution LC-MS
  • 5′ capping efficiency quantification by high-resolution LC-MS

Bioanalytical charges

Standalone methods and defined packages for RNA quality and process insight.

Begin with a selected method or combine complementary methods in a defined package. Bespoke programmes and larger sample sets are quoted separately.

Prices in GBP, excluding VAT. Final pricing and billing currency confirmed in your quotation.
