PLATFORM AT GREENLIGHT

An introduction to RNA

We can make multiple forms of RNA at scale using a differentiated manufacturing platform. We believe our expertise and proprietary technology will allow us to bring RNA products quickly and cost-effectively to market.

RNA IN ACTION

“What we’ve been able to do is actually make your RNA of choice. That allows you to make metric-ton quantities, in a capital-efficient system at a cost that the farmers can afford.”

Carole Cobb, GreenLight COO

PLATFORM

How do we make RNA?

What is cell free production and how is ours different? The technology we developed to produce dsRNA at metric-ton scale can be leveraged and transformed, using our technical agility, for our mRNA platform.

Where and how

Our 17,000-square-foot facility in Rochester, New York will manufacture enzymes and RNA for a variety of agricultural applications, including the protection of honeybees.

The fermentation process to produce RNA has to be managed carefully to produce good field test candidates

They might not be bigger than a speck of pepper, but Varroa mites can devastate bee populations.

The GreenLight way

  • Affordability

    Our proprietary cell-free methodology that enables prices as low as $1/gram for dsRNA

  • Quality

    Our system allows us to create high-quality RNA

  • Speed

    Batches take hours, not weeks, allowing us to be flexible and efficient.

PLATFORM

How our technology solves many RNA production problems

Each step and reaction component in the GreenLight bioproduction process has been developed or selected with cost, quality, safety, and commercial scalability in mind.
