A defined formulation study for your RNA program

LNP Formulation Optimization Service

Build a formulation optimization project around your payload, target application and measurable goals. Discuss lipid selection, formulation ratios, preparation conditions and a staged evaluation plan.

Conceptual RNA duplexes and a lipid delivery particle

Start with the delivery question

Define the payload, biological model, administration route and reference formulation first. Then agree a focused screening plan, its controls and the criteria for advancing candidates. Assay availability, experimental scope and acceptance criteria are confirmed before the project starts.

Lipid composition

Compare candidate ionizable lipids, helper phospholipids, sterols and PEG lipids within an agreed formulation design space.

Explore the lipid catalog →

Ratios & payload loading

Evaluate component molar fractions and payload loading. Record N/P and lipid-to-RNA mass ratio separately, with their calculation basis defined.

Explore formulation components →

Preparation conditions

Discuss mixing approach, flow conditions where applicable, buffer pH, concentrations, solvent removal and final formulation buffer.

Application-driven evaluation

Define the relevant model and endpoint, such as reporter expression or target knockdown, alongside suitable controls and tolerability readouts.

Choose the evaluation package

Evaluation areaItems to discuss in the study plan
Particle attributesParticle size, polydispersity and measurement conditions; surface charge or apparent pKa where relevant and included in scope.
Payload & compositionRNA concentration, encapsulation measurement, recovery and the agreed approach to RNA integrity or composition analysis.
Functional activityExpression or knockdown in the agreed model, with dose, time point, normalization and biological replicates specified.
TolerabilityCell viability or other agreed endpoints evaluated alongside activity. Confirm model-specific testing requirements during scoping.
StabilityDefined storage conditions, time points and readouts; include freeze-thaw or handling studies only when relevant to the project.
ReproducibilityRepeat preparation of selected formulations and comparison of agreed quality and functional readouts.
Advanced studiesDiscuss requirements for in vivo, biodistribution or specialized assays separately; availability and scope require confirmation.
Working together

From project brief to agreed deliverables

  1. Define the target profile

    Agree the payload, application, current formulation, key problem and measurable success criteria.

  2. Design the screen

    Choose factors, ranges, controls and a screening matrix; agree sample requirements and assay scope.

  3. Compare & refine

    Evaluate the agreed readouts, review trade-offs and select candidates for a focused second round.

  4. Confirm & document

    Confirm selected candidates within scope and provide the agreed formulation records, methods and results.

A report you can use for the next experiment

Agree a report containing formulation identifiers, component ratios, preparation records, assay methods, results and a comparison of candidates. Separate measured results from interpretation and recommendations. Record model, dose, time point and replicate details so that comparisons remain traceable.
