TriLink BioTechnologies, a Maravai LifeSciences company and global provider of life science reagents and services, has entered into a non-exclusive License and Supply Agreement with Lonza, a global development and manufacturing partner to the pharma, biotech, and nutrition industries. This agreement aims to increase access to CleanCap mRNA capping technologies as the demand for mRNA continues to rise.
Under the terms of the agreement, TriLink will provide Lonza with its patented CleanCap M6, CleanCap AG 3’OMe, CleanCap AG, and CleanCap AU cap analogs. These will be used in Lonza’s global mRNA development and manufacturing services, spanning from pre-clinical studies to Phase III programs.
CleanCap technology offers a streamlined solution with over 95% capping efficiency, simplifying mRNA production processes in comparison to traditional capping methods. This advancement has the potential to accelerate programs from discovery to clinical trials by enhancing mRNA function, optimizing manufacturing processes, and maximizing capped material yield.
