• ANALYTICAL DEVELOPMENT
    & QUALITY CONTROL

Analytical Development

Our services range from analytical development for viral vectors and mRNA using state-of-the-art analytical instruments, to characterization and stability testing in process development, and validation in GMP-compliant test method development.

Cell-based assay is also available as a test method. We will discuss with you the appropriate assay system, taking into account the Mode of Action (MoA) of the gene therapy product you are developing, and propose a test plan up to GMP manufacturing.

Analytical Development

Cell-based Assay

We will develop cell-based assays to ensure the potency of gene therapy products in specification tests, etc. In the case of gene therapy, the studies related to titer (potency) vary depending on the target of measurement, and are assumed to quantify (1) infected viral vectors, (2) transcribed mRNA, (3) translated protein, (4) translated protein activity, etc.

Cell-based Assay

Quality Control

We conduct quality testing of plasmid DNA, viral vectors, and formulations (final products) in GMP manufacturing, as well as GMP-compliant stability testing.
