mRNA HPLC Analysis Services
mRNA HPLC analysis is a detection technique based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), designed for high-resolution separation and quantitative analysis of the purity, integrity, and relevant modifications of messenger RNA (mRNA). This method utilizes the efficient separation capability of HPLC, employing different types of chromatography columns (such as reversed-phase, ion exchange, or hydrophilic interaction chromatography) combined with various detection techniques, including ultraviolet detection (UV), fluorescence detection (FLD), or mass spectrometry (MS), to achieve precise characterization of mRNA samples, ensuring quality control in compliance with the requirements of biopharmaceutical research and production.
mRNA HPLC analysis services are widely applied in the development and quality control of mRNA vaccines and gene therapy drugs, including mRNA synthesis and modification verification, purity assessment, degradation product detection, and translation efficiency optimization. Particularly in the field of mRNA-based therapeutics, this technique can be used to evaluate mRNA stability, identify the impact of different modified nucleotides, and optimize production processes to ensure the safety and efficacy of mRNA drugs, providing critical support for the development of novel biopharmaceuticals.

Case Study
1. Anion Exchange HPLC Monitoring of mRNA in Vitro Transcription Reactions to Support mRNA Manufacturing Process Development
This study aims to evaluate the application of anion exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (AEX-HPLC) in monitoring in vitro transcription (IVT) reactions of mRNA to optimize the mRNA manufacturing process and improve product quality. The study subjects are mRNA samples collected at different stages of the IVT process, focusing on the separation and detection of integrity, truncated fragments, template DNA, and dsRNA impurities. The methodology employs AEX-HPLC combined with ultraviolet (UV) and fluorescence (FLD) detection, optimizing mobile phase conditions and gradient elution parameters to enhance mRNA separation efficiency. By comparing different transcription batches, the stability and reproducibility of the method are assessed. The results indicate that AEX-HPLC can precisely distinguish intact mRNA from impurities, demonstrating high sensitivity in detecting dsRNA and incomplete transcription products. Additionally, it enables real-time monitoring of the IVT reaction process, facilitating process optimization. The study concludes that AEX-HPLC is an efficient and reliable mRNA analytical tool for process control and quality assessment of IVT reactions, providing critical support for the production of mRNA vaccines and gene therapies while promoting standardization and optimization of mRNA manufacturing processes.
