AcuraBio expands cGMP plasmid DNA CDMO services with Cytiva's latest single-use purification technology to alleviate supply constraints for mRNA and cell & gene therapies
BRISBANE, Australia, Feb. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-AcuraBio selects Cytiva's latest two-step purification protocol to offer a 
productive plasmid DNA service to its customers globally to alleviate supply 
constraints for mRNA and cell & gene therapies
-The latest purification technology will offer efficient processing time for 
plasmid DNA production

AcuraBio, a leading Australian biopharmaceutical contract development and 
manufacturing organization (CDMO), will provide a cGMP plasmid DNA CDMO service 
to the world using Cytiva's new process platform technology.

AcuraBio expects to produce more plasmid DNA for its customers around the world 
using Cytiva's latest bacterial plasmid two-step purification protocol. The new 
protocol features single-use purification technology which delivers efficiency, 
high purity level outcome and sustainable process.[1]

Guillaume Herry, CEO of AcuraBio says: "We are very excited to implement 
Cytiva's latest technology especially because the access and production of 
plasmid DNA has been a bottleneck in the advanced therapy market. We intend to 
bring biotechs and biopharma companies a more high-quality plasmid DNA quicker 
than before to help the development of new therapies such as viral vectors and 
mRNA."

Jon Ince, General Manager, Commercial, Australia and New Zealand, Cytiva, says: 
"The adoption of Cytiva's FlexFactory configurable manufacturing train, within 
AcuraBio's assets will enable AcuraBio to advance and better serve their 
customers based with efficient and flexible cGMP manufacturing services that 
address the increasing demand for high quality therapeutics within the 
Australia and New Zealand region and beyond."

According to Research and Markets, the plasmid DNA manufacturing market size is 
estimated to be $525.12 million in 2022 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 
13.87% from 2023 to 2033. A growing public understanding of cell & gene therapy 
and the surging number of patients choosing gene therapy as their treatment of 
choice are factors contributing to the market growth.[2]
