Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines are cornerstones of modern medicine—they let the body make its own therapeutic proteins or immunogenic antigens. But their success hinges on the quality of synthetic mRNA: published data show impurities like dsRNA can rev up the innate immune system, hurting both safety and effectiveness. That's why a strong, precise synthesis platform is so important—and our services are designed to tackle this need head-on, making sure quality is never compromised.

This process is utilized for generating smaller mRNA fragments, typically a few hundred nucleotides in length. It is particularly well-suited for applications that require extremely high precision, such as the synthesis of short guide RNAs (gRNAs) for CRISPR-Cas systems or specialized regulatory RNAs for gene editing. The method offers superior control over nucleotide incorporation and modification, providing a highly defined product that is ideal for sensitive research applications where every base matters.

Custom mRNA IVT Synthesis (in vitro transcription synthesis) can efficiently synthesize long-chain functional mRNAs with thousands of nucleotides. This ability makes it widely used in mRNA drugs (such as protein replacement therapy) and mRNA vaccine development. This technology can achieve precise control over nucleotide inclusion and modification, and can produce highly sequence-clear products. It can meet the requirements whether it is used in sensitive research where base sequences are crucial or in preclinical development that needs to ensure the structural and functional integrity of full-length mRNA.
Quality is paramount throughout our entire process. We adhere to a stringent, multi-stage quality control program to ensure every batch of mRNA meets the highest standards for purity, integrity, and concentration. Our comprehensive analysis includes:
Our streamlined workflow is designed for efficiency and transparency, ensuring you are fully informed at every stage of your project. The process begins with your initial project design and culminates in the delivery of a fully characterized and ready-to-use mRNA product.
To start the project, clients typically provide a linearized DNA template (or its sequence for synthesis), target mRNA sequence, and details of desired modifications or capping strategies.
Our scientific team reviews your requirements collaboratively, aiding sequence optimization/design to boost expression, stability, and translational efficiency for a solid project foundation.
We synthesize high-purity DNA templates and conduct high-fidelity IVT reactions, with optimized processes minimizing immunogenic dsRNA impurities from the start.
Post-transcription, products undergo rigorous purification to remove template DNA, enzymes, and by-products; enzymatic capping/tailing is then done for maximum mRNA stability and functionality.
Purified mRNA goes through strict QC: techniques like mass spectrometry, gel electrophoresis, and concentration assays confirm its purity, integrity, and quantity.
We package and ship the final mRNA product with all supporting documentation, including the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and a detailed project report.
Upon project completion, you will receive your purified mRNA product, a detailed Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming key quality metrics, and a comprehensive project summary report that includes all raw data and analysis.

This article details a method to produce synthetic mRNA with reduced immunogenicity using high-temperature in vitro transcription (IVT) with thermostable T7 RNA polymerases. The study identifies two types of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by-products that trigger immune responses: one from 3'-extension of run-off products and another from antisense RNA formation. The researchers demonstrate that high-temperature IVT reduces 3'-extension without affecting antisense RNA by-products. Additionally, incorporating a poly(A) tail in the template DNA decreases antisense RNA formation. This approach simplifies mRNA synthesis, potentially eliminating the need for post-synthesis purification to remove immunogenic dsRNA. Creative Biolabs has established a specialized technology platform for mRNA synthesis, which can address various issues in mRNA synthesis.
