Ways to improve empty, full and damaged capsids separation
Last month we attended the 'Gene Therapy for Rare Disorders Europe 2020' conference, which ran virtually on October 26 and 27. On the second day of the meeting, our CEO Ales Strancar presented methods for improving separation of AAV empty, full, and other AAV related particles /capsids. In his talk, he highlighted that buffer optimization and proper column ligand selection (CIM QA, CIM PrimaS, or new CIM EF) allow for >90% full capsid production. He introduced Specimen and emphasized the ultracentrifuge usage with HPLC detectors for prompt orthogonal verification of the maximum capsid purity. You can download his presentation here.

Exploring CIMac PrimaS™ for Analysis of mRNA
CIMac PrimaS is a new member of BIA’s family of high-performance chromatography products to analyse and purify mRNA. While QA and DEAE anion exchangers need to be heated in the range of 50–70°C for large mRNA to elute, new experimental data show that one can also elute large mRNA from CIMac PrimaS at ambient temperature in a pyrophosphate gradient.

New poster - Fast HPLC analytics to characterise IVT reaction - detection of pDNA, mRNA, and IVT components
|
|
At the beginning of the month, we attended the 8th International mRNA Health Conference, where we presented two new posters. The first one introduces a new analytical HPLC approach that uses CIMac PrimaS for separation of IVT components such as triphosphate-nucleotides (NTPs), enzymes, DNA template, and RNA in a very short gradient.
