Yaohai Bio-Pharma has been involved in the Plasmid DNA (pDNA) quality control (QC) and batch release for different uses, e.g., naked plasmid, DNA vaccines, and pDNA as raw materials for virus-vectored therapy or mRNA.
We design QC Testing for appearance, identification, activity, purity, and impurities, following ICH Quality guidelines, relevant Pharmacopoeia (EU and US monographs), regulatory guidelines (ICH, FDA, and EMA), and GMP/GLP practices.
