UV/Vis spectrophotometry has played a huge role in making mRNA technology a viable choice in vaccine development. Since mRNA vaccines require highly purified DNA/RNA to maintain potency, the purity of nucleic acids had to be ensured. UV/Vis spectrophotometry can be used in the analysis of bacteria, enzymes, proteins, nucleotides, plasmids, as well as for purity/impurity profiles of raw materials, such as ethanol and sucrose.
In addition to use in the COVID-19 vaccines, this visual article takes a look at some of the most promising mRNA vaccine candidates in the future. Download Now |
