Enzymes for RNA manufacturing and analytics

Reduce time and cost in post-⁠IVT template DNA removal and 5′ cap-⁠efficiency analysis.

The RNA workflow, step by step
Step 1 of 6
Process step

DNA Template

Every microgram of template DNA that goes into IVT has to be removed downstream.
The challenge

Template DNA Digestion: addressed with RiboClean™

Step 2 of 6
Process step

IVT

IVT produces the RNA, but the template DNA remains and must be removed before downstream processing.

Template DNA Digestion: addressed with RiboClean™

Step 3 of 6
Common bottleneck

Template DNA Digestion

The problem
Residual template DNA has to be removed after IVT, and conventional DNase I often needs high enzyme input to get there.
Drives the challenge of: RNA quality, cost per batch
The impact
- Regulatory and RNA quality risk
- More nuclease carried into purification
- Higher cost per batch

10x

less enzyme units than DNase I

>80%

lower modeled DNase cost per batch
The solution at this step
dsDNA-specific nuclease for post-IVT cleanup
~6 hr → <30 min
Sample preparation
  • Single-enzyme, one-incubation workflow
  • Compatible with tested therapeutically relevant modified uridines
  • Supports Urea-PAGE, Fragment Analysis and LC-MS workflows
Step 4 of 6
Process step

Purification

RNA is purified from enzymes, nucleotides and DNA fragments. Lower nuclease input means less DNase protein entering this step.

RNA QC & Characterization: addressed with RiboCleave™ 1

Step 5 of 6
Common bottleneck

RNA QC & Characterization

The problem
RNase H cap-analysis sample prep needs guide-oligo design, hybridization and multiple steps, and the readout typically relies on LC-MS.
Creates avoidable analytical time and complexity
The impact
- Approximately 6 hours of sample preparation
- Construct-specific guide-oligo workflow
- Slower analytical decisions
- Reliance on specialist instrumentation

~6 hr → <30 min

cap-efficiency sample preparation

>80%

lower modeled analytical cost vs RNase H
The solution at this step
Sequence-specific ssRNA restriction enzyme for cap-efficiency sample preparation
~6 hr → <30 min
Sample preparation
  • Single-enzyme, one-incubation workflow
  • Compatible with tested therapeutically relevant modified uridines
  • One digest, read by urea-PAGE, Bioanalyzer or LC-MS
Step 6 of 6

Process Decision

QC results inform the next decision: release, further optimization or scale-up. Faster, simpler analytics can support faster decisions.

The challenge

What’s holding RNA manufacturing back

RNA teams repeatedly encounter three sources of burden across manufacturing and analysis. Two high-value workflow steps contribute disproportionately to them.

RNA quality & regulatory readiness

Residual template DNA, process impurities and inconsistent analytics can complicate RNA quality and regulatory readiness.

Slow development & decisions

Lengthy digestion and analytical preparation can slow optimization, development and decision-making.

Manufacturing & analytical cost

High enzyme input and complex analytical preparation can increase cost per batch and per assay.
The solutions

Two enzymes. Two high-⁠value workflow interventions.

Each enzyme is designed around a specific source of avoidable burden, so we can improve the workflow without reinventing it.
