Process-residual assays for mRNA and IVT products

How to choose

The ELISA kits measure residual protein mass of T7 RNA polymerase, RNase inhibitor and DNase I, plus dsRNA. The fluorogenic kits measure residual DNase BP-16 or RNase BP-06-100 activity by kinetic fluorescence, read every 5 minutes for at least 6 readings.

T7 RNA polymerases and IVT synthesis kits

How to choose

For GMP production choose a T7 enzyme: T7 3.0 GMP-BP-E11 gives 7–8-fold less dsRNA than wild-type T7. The research kits make linear RNA BP-01-50, co-transcriptionally capped Cap1 mRNA with N1-Me-pUTP supplied (BP-07-50; the template needs an AG initiation sequence) or circRNA BP-13-50.

Enzymatic mRNA capping

How to choose

Vaccinia Capping Enzyme GMP-BP-E05 makes Cap0; Cap 2′-O-Methyltransferase GMP-BP-E06 converts Cap0 to Cap1. The mRNA Capping Kit BP-04-50 does both in one tube, with a stated Cap1 efficiency of ≥95%. To cap during IVT instead, see the co-transcription kit above.
