After meticulously mixing mRNA with the nanoparticle carrier, Abnova conducts thorough quality control (QC) testing to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the complex. Key physical properties, such as particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, particle concentration, and encapsulation efficiency can be efficiently measured to guide product design, optimize the production process, determine stability and release specifications. Precise size measurement provides insights into stability and immune response evasion. A low PDI ensures consistent performance across batches, while optimal zeta potential enhances colloidal stability. Accurate determination of particle concentration supports consistent dosing, and high encapsulation efficiency maximizes payload while minimizing waste.

Complex Characterization

Description

Assay

Size

Nanoparticle carrier's size, or average diameter, is vital for biodistribution and cellular uptake. 

Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)

Polydispersity Index (PDI)

PDI reflects size distribution uniformity. Smaller PDIs mean more uniform sizes, achievable through lipid adjustments and mixing enhancements. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)

Ζeta Potential

Zeta potential gauges electrostatic potential around nanoparticle carriers. Near-neutral zeta potential is ideal to prevent repulsion or cytotoxicity, adjustable by N:P ratio. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)
Particle Concentration Precise quantification ensures the consistency of experiments, allowing the nanoparticle carrier to be concentrated or diluted as needed. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)
Encapsulation Efficiency Microfluidic mixing assesses oligonucleotide quantity within the nanoparticle carrier and maximizes efficiency. Fluorescent Dyes
