Pre-treatment Kit for mRNA Poly A Distribution Detection, BP-11

Prepares mRNA samples for poly(A) distribution analysis.

Pre-treatment Kit for mRNA Poly A Distribution Detection

Product overview

Poly A tail length is a critical quality attribute for mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, constituting essential validation data required for the regulatory submission of mRNA-based products. LC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) has emerged as a primary detection method due to its ability to precisely determine poly A tail length and heterogeneity, making it suitable for process development and quality control. The Pre-treatment Kit for mRNA Poly A Distribution Detection developed by BIORI is designed to efficiently and rapidly obtain the poly A tail of mRNA, accommodating sequences with different characteristics and various types of poly A tail designs. It offers product advantages such as high-efficiency purification, simple operation, high sensitivity and specificity, as well as safety and reliability.

Features and applications

Performance data

1 Functional test of the kit

Description: The treated samples after enzymatic digestion and the recovered samples were verified using denaturing electrophoresis.

Conclusion: After digestion with RNase T1 using the kit, there were still considerable impurities. However, following purification and recovery, the purity of the Poly(A) tail band was significantly improved.

2 LC-MS analysis for determining the distribution of Poly(A)

Description: The recovered samples were subjected to LC-MS analysis to determine the distribution of Poly(A).
