cell and gene webinar

This webinar will examine the advantages of fluoropolymer film as material of choice for the storage and development of high value oligonucleotide-based payloads such as an ssDNA aptamer. Nucleic-acid-based therapies, such as DNA, antisense oligonucleotides, small interfering RNAs (siRNA), aptamer probes, and messenger RNA (mRNA), have been widely used in diverse biomedical


Julien and Mark will discuss:

  • How to integrate appropriate materials and tools for oligonucleotides handling 
  • Optimization of DNA storage using dedicated fluoropolymer film for cell and gene therapy products development & manufacture
  • The use of highly sensitive assays for nucleic acid and particle contamination detection and prevention
