Analytical Method Development & Testing
Have confidence in your molecule’s safety and efficacy by partnering with our analytical development and testing team. We have experience with nucleic acid therapeutics ranging from small nucleotide drugs and highly-modified oligonucleotides (e.g., ASO, siRNA, PMO/PPMO, PNA) to larger RNA and DNA molecules needed for gene editing and gene therapies. Our experts help you overcome challenges such as molecule size, higher-order structure, and chemical composition/modifications.
Our technical knowledge paired with our understanding of nucleic acid physiochemical properties gives us the expertise to develop methods that meet your specific needs.
