High-quality mRNAs for robust and reproducible protein expression
Discover how CleanCap® technology improves mRNA performance
TriLink’s premade mRNAs are manufactured using proprietary CleanScript™ in vitro transcription (IVT) or the CleanCap® M6 co-transcriptional capping technology, significantly reducing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) contaminants while maximising in vivo protein expression.
Manufactured for confidence, consistency and performance
All premade mRNAs are produced under strict quality standards and purified through DNase treatment, diafiltration, and oligo-dT capture. This process enriches full-length transcripts while efficiently removing impurities and salts.
Each product is delivered with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) including:
-
Concentration determination by UV-Vis spectroscopy
-
Construct integrity assessed by gel and capillary electrophoresis
-
Capping efficiency measured by capping assay
-
dsRNA level quantified by dot blot
This ensures reliable performance and peace of mind when moving from optimisation to functional studies.
Quick selection guide: mRNA design options
TriLink offers premade mRNAs in three optimised designs: CleanCap® mRNAs, CleanCap® mRNAs (5moU), and CleanCap® M6 mRNAs (N1MeΨ).
All constructs include:
-
A 5′ Cap 1 structure for enhanced stability and translation
-
A synthetic 5′ UTR with a strong Kozak sequence
-
A mouse α-globin-derived 3′ UTR
Poly(A) tail optimisation
TriLink’s proprietary ModTail™ poly(A) tail modification increases mRNA stability, improves expression consistency, and extends the duration of protein expression—key advantages for next-generation RNA research.
How to choose the optimal design
-
ModTail™ → Improved stability and expression consistency
-
5moU → Reduced innate immune activation with strong expression
-
N1MeΨ → Maximum protein expression with minimal immunogenicity
-
5mC → Additional immune suppression and stability
-
CleanCap® AG → Robust expression for standard research applications
-
CleanCap® M6 → Highest expression levels with the lowest innate immune activation
