mRNA vaccine upstream automated processing system
Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines provide a novel alternative to conventional vaccine approaches various advantages such as high potency, capacity for rapid development and potential for low-cost manuufacture and safe administration. Conventional vaccines usually contain weakened or inactivated version of the pathogen proteins (antigens) that then stimulate the immune ressponse of the body. The body is thus prepared to react more effectively if it is exposed to the pathogen in the future.
Unlike conventional vaccines, an mRNA vaccine does not contain any viral proteins, but only the information in the form of mRNA, that our cells can use to produce the desired immune response. The mRNA acts like messengers that tell the body’s cells to produce copies of a protein or part of a protein . In the case of COVID-19 vaccines, it is the famous “spike” protein of SARS-CoV-2.
Aurora provides technology and equipment to support the mRNA research process, improving the efficiency of researchers, enabling scientists to conduct extensive experiments, accelerating research and development, improving manufacturing capacity, and advancing the tide of vaccine technology.
