Plasmid DNA
Manufacturing
Our customized pDNA CDMO services provide research-grade and GMP materials
CDMO pDNA Services
We supply plasmid DNA (pDNA) in all grades and quantities, for various applications, including DNA adjuvants and vaccines, starting material for RNA drugs, cell-free protein expression platforms, and more.
Clinical and Commercial pDNA Manufacturing
We have expansive capabilities in hosts and plasmids, including 2 commercial pDNA products, using process development scales up to 10 L. These processes can be scaled up for cGMP manufacturing up to 1,000 L.
Small-Scale pDNA Production
We also offer a fast platform approach for smaller pDNA amounts via a small-scale line, with scales of 10 L to 50 L. This can be used for producing transfer plasmids for in-house applications, packaging plasmids for AAV and LVV applications, and as linearized starting material for Messenger RNA (mRNA) manufacturing.
pDNA Grades and Quantities
We are able to supply pDNA in all grades (R&D, HQ, GMP) and quantities. Our plasmids can be used for various applications, such as manufacturing DNA adjuvants and vaccines, as well as a starting material for RNA drugs and cell-free protein expression platforms. Additionally, pDNA has become a critical element for gene therapy applications, including AAV and LVV-based therapies.
Plasmid DNA Production and Manufacturing Services
Our pDNA services cater to the intricate needs of advanced therapies across a diverse array of applications such as DNA adjuvants and vaccines, serving as the foundation for RNA drugs and vaccines. Our capabilities extend to cell-free protein expression platforms, which hold promise for diverse therapeutic interventions. Moreover, we provide essential starting materials for advanced therapies, encompassing viral vector manufacturing for LVV, AAV, and others critical to this field.
Our development scales start at 1 L and scale up significantly to 10 L. To meet the demands of large-scale manufacturing, we offer a range of GMP-compliant production scales, extending up to 1,000 L.

FAQs
-
Does AGC Biologics offer plasmid DNA (pDNA) manufacturing?
Yes, we provide comprehensive plasmid DNA (pDNA) manufacturing services in all grades and quantities for various applications, such as DNA adjuvants and vaccines, linearized starting material for RNA drugs, cell-free protein expression platforms, and gene therapy applications for AAV and LVV-based therapies.
-
What scales are available for pDNA manufacturing?
Our pDNA manufacturing offers scales 1-10 L for process development as well as both small scale (10-50 L) and large-scale (up to 1,000 L) for commercial GMP production. This flexibility allows us to support projects from early discovery through to commercialization.
-
What grades of pDNA do you offer?
We offer two primary grades of plasmid DNA: high-quality (HQ) research-grade pDNA, suitable for use as starting material for viral vectors and mRNA, and GMP-grade pDNA for direct therapeutic use and late-stage clinical/commercial applications.
-
Do you manufacture plasmids for viral vector packaging?
Yes, we manufacture packaging plasmids and gene-of-interest plasmids essential for viral vector production. Our integrated approach allows us to supply the pDNA required for your AAV or lentiviral vector programs internally.
