Plasmid DNA forms the genetic foundation for many therapeutic strategies, and the growth of cell and gene therapies as well as the rapid emergence of the mRNA vaccine market has created intense pressure on manufacturing of this critical material. Thermo Fisher Scientific has responded by expanding our plasmid DNA capacity and service offerings so you can discover the right solution to meet your unique requirements and get to market faster.
We produce plasmid DNA for a wide variety of R&D, clinical, and commercial bioprocessing applications, including:
Plasmids can be manufactured by leveraging our proven platform process or via a customized production process for your unique molecule to improve efficiency of performance and scale up as needed.
As quantity requirements vary based on plasmid application and development stage, we’re pleased to offer flexible scale options to support your unique project needs throughout the product lifecycle.
Raw material quality issues create an increased risk of CMC holds and can threaten project timelines while adding unnecessary costs. With Thermo Fisher’s phase-appropriate service, you don’t need to wait to implement cGMP plasmid into your advanced therapeutic manufacturing process. Our approach includes access to full cGMP-quality plasmid material regardless of clinical phase of development. This is unique from other providers that offer “cGMP-like” plasmids not made to full cGMP standards for use as starting materials for advanced therapies.
Plasmid produced with full application of cGMP practices with standard documentation provided; pricing competitive with cGMP-“like” materials.
Plasmid produced with full application of cGMP practices and enhanced traceability and/or customized documentation available for an additional fee.
Our expanded capacity and flexibility partnered with a broad range of services — from process development to cGMP manufacturing to storage, logistics, and distribution solutions — means our plasmid DNA capabilities can flex and scale with your changing needs across the product lifecycle.
The regulatory landscape for advanced therapies is constantly evolving, and what’s acceptable today may not be adequate tomorrow. For over 15 years we have supported customers with global regulatory interactions (US, EU, and Canada), CMC regulations, guidelines, and inspections. In addition to providing document reviews and gap analyses, our regulatory services team can generate documents to reduce the number of intermediaries and lead times in preparing regulatory filings.
Our 67,000 sq ft facility located in Carlsbad, California has the capacity now to address your unique plasmid project needs. The process development space was recently expanded for improved throughout and additional small-scale capabilities. Our facility is also licensed by the state for drug substance production.
