Simple, flexible, and cost‑efficient solutions for mRNA synthesis and purification

Accelerating the research and development of mRNA vaccines requires innovative, simple, time-efficient, and cost-minimizing workflows. The demand for high-quality mRNA production must be met with flexible and scalable solutions. Invitrogen Dynabeads Streptavidin for In Vitro Transcription and Invitrogen Dynabeads Carboxylic Acid for RNA Purification combined with Invitrogen Dynabeads RNA Binding Buffer are specifically designed for optimal mRNA production.

Dynabeads magnetic beads for mRNA synthesis and purification offer:

  • Flexibility—choice of DNA template for mRNA in vitro transcription with greater flexibility of design and amplification method
  • Reusability—reuse of the DNA template at least six times for minimized plasmid prep and reduced hands-on time
  • Automation—simplified, accelerated construct screening and reaction optimization


Dynabeads Streptavidin for In Vitro Transcription

Watch webinar

An innovative solution facilitating the reuse of DNA template, minimizing the effort needed for plasmid preparation whilst maximizing the mRNA productivity in scale ranging from µg to g quantities of mRNA.

mRNA is synthesized using a biotinylated DNA template of choice, amplified through PCR, or a linearized plasmid DNA. The biotinylated template is then immobilized directly to Dynabeads Streptavidin for In Vitro Transcription without the need for prior purification. The bead-bound template is removed from the synthesized mRNA by magnetic separation, and can be reused in the next in vitro transcription reaction at least six times.

The highly efficient Dynabeads in vitro transcription process delivers mRNA in scalable quantities that can flex quickly and easily according to your needs.

Dynabeads Carboxylic Acid for RNA Purification

The crude mRNA obtained from the in vitro transcription step is mixed with beads and Invitrogen Dynabeads RNA Binding Buffer is added. Subsequently, the mRNA binds to the surface of the beads. The application of a magnet removes the residual components from the reaction mixture and disposes of the supernatant. Synthesized mRNA is efficiently purified and removed by a simple bind-wash-elute process.
