Designing Linear DNA Downstream Processes Beyond UF/DF Optimization: Mechanistic Insights and Process Redesign to Support Integrated mRNA Manufacturing

  • Investigating intrinsic yield loss mechanisms in linear DNA UF/DF that are not universally resolved by operational optimization alone
  • Demonstrating plasmid-specific limitations of UF/DF through mechanistic analysis of flow-induced elongation and protein–DNA interactions
  • Redesigning downstream processes by decoupling protein removal and buffer exchange, introducing HIC to improve robustness while enabling further optimization
