  • Patent number: 11679349
    Abstract: A method of filtering a liquid feed is described, comprising passing a liquid feed through a single pass tangential flow filtration (SPTFF) system and recovering the retentate and permeate from the system in separate containers. A method of filtering a liquid feed is also described comprising passing a liquid feed through a tangential flow filtration (TFF) system, recovering permeate and a portion of the retentate from the system in separate containers without recirculation through the TFF system, and recirculating the remainder of the retentate through the TFF system at least once. The methods of the invention can be performed using an SPTFF or a TFF system that comprises manifold segments to serialize the flow path of the feed and retentate without requiring diverter plates.

  • Publication number: 20210324369
    Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods for purifying high quality messenger (mRNA) suitable for clinical use. The present invention is, in part, based on surprising discovery that capping and tailing mRNA in reaction buffer having a pH lower than 8.0 and MgCl2 at a concentration of less than 1.25 mM can increase RNA integrity of final mRNA product. Thus, the present invention provides an effective, reliable, and efficient method of manufacturing high quality RNA at large scale for therapeutic use.
