Projections are to be able to produce 5 million human doses per liter via enzymatic synthesis

 

Requires an LNP delivery system specifically design for gene vaccine applications
Requires a scalable nanoparticle manufacturing platform

 

Once established, concept can be applied to future pandemics, raw material are generic and can be stockpiled

How It Works

mRNA Production and Delivery



1) An organic solvent containing dissolved lipids and an aqueous solution containing nucleic acids are injected into the two inlet channels of the NanoAssemblr® cartridge.
2) Under laminar flow, the two solutions do not immediately mix, but microscopic features engineered into the channel cause the two fluids to intermingle in a controlled and reproducible way.
3) Within a millisecond, the two fluids are completely mixed, causing a change in solvent polarity that triggers the self-assembly of lipid nanoparticles loaded with nucleic acids.


4) Changing the speed and ratio of fluid injection controls the size of the lipid nanoparticles.
5) Lipid nanoparticles mimic low-density lipoproteins, which allows them to be taken up by an endogenous cellular transport pathway to deliver nucleic acids to cells.
6) Using pH-sensitive lipids allow lipid nanoparticles to release encapsulated nucleic acids into the cytoplasm when vesicle pH decreases.
