Overview
Comprehensive solutions for characterization, confirmation, and monitoring of your vaccine
Thermo Fisher Scientific is your trusted partner to help ensure your vaccine quality with speed at every stage of the development process – from discovery to commercial production – so that you can go to market quickly and confidently.
mRNA vaccines work by introducing an mRNA sequence which is coded for a disease specific antigen. Once produced within the body, the antigen is recognized by the immune system, preparing it to fight the virus if presented. Because mRNA is transient in the body, synthetic mRNA products require modifications to protect the product from natural degradation.
mRNA vaccines are produced using a DNA plasmid template in a process called in vitro transcription (IVT RNA). Because of the transient nature of mRNA, focus is on properly modifying mRNA and the delivery vehicle for the product to survive the body’s natural defences. Lipid delivery systems are currently being explored.
For vaccines to be acceptable to regulatory agencies, in-depth analytical characterization and criteria defined for purity/impurity monitoring (CQAs) is needed to ensure safety and efficacy. This means impurities need to be understood through characterization, acceptable levels defined, and then monitored for safety and efficacy.

Analytical workflows for your mRNA vaccine
From product characterization through process development and QC
mRNA Vaccine Impurity analysis
The presence of a 5’ cap structure is essential for subsequent steps in the life cycle of mRNA in eukaryotic cells. Therefore, the capping efficiency must be determined and monitored throughout development.
LC-MS analysis of RNase H cleaved 5’ -end of target mRNA provides the required sensitivity and accuracy to determine capping efficiency.
In order to maximize gene expression, the purity of mRNA must be determined, impurities characterized, and then monitored throughout the process. This includes aborted sequences, double stranded RNA, and residual plasmid DNA.
DNAPac RP reversed phase (RP) column is specifically designed for separation of oligonucleotides and DNA/RNA fragments. Operating with mobile phases compatible with direct mass spectrometry, analysis can be carried out using both LC-UV and/or LC-MS approaches.
mRNA Vaccine Identity Analysis
The purity of mRNA can be determined by mRNA sequence mapping. Following nuclease enzymatic digestion of the full-length mRNA, the resulting fragments can be separated and identified using LC-MS, providing comprehensive characterization.
