Applied DNA is commercializing LinearDNA™, its proprietary, large-scale polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”)-based manufacturing platform that allows for the large-scale production of specific DNA sequences. The LinearDNA platform has utility in the nucleic acid-based in vitro diagnostics and preclinical nucleic acid-based drug development and manufacturing market. The platform is used to manufacture DNA for customers as components of in vitro diagnostic tests and for preclinical nucleic acid-based drug development in the fields of adoptive cell therapies (CAR T and TCR therapies), DNA vaccines (anti-viral and cancer), RNA therapies, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) based therapies, and gene therapies. Applied DNA has also established a COVID-19 diagnostic and testing offering that is in the early stages of commercialization and is grounded in the Company’s deep expertise in DNA. The LinearDNA platform also has non-biologic applications, such as supply chain security, anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft technology. Key end-markets include textiles, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, and cannabis, among others.
Repligen Corporation, a life sciences company, develops, manufactures, and markets consumable bioprocessing products for use in the production of monoclonal antibodies and other biologic drugs. The company manufactures various forms of Protein A, a critical reagent used in biomanufacturing to separate and purify monoclonal antibodies. It also supplies various growth factor products, which are used to increase cell growth and productivity during upstream fermentation. In addition, the company manufactures and sells chromatography products, including OPUS pre-packed columns for biologics purification, as well as proprietary Protein A media and quality test kits. Further, it has a portfolio of therapeutic product candidates, which include RG3039, a small molecule drug candidate in clinical development for spinal muscular atrophy; histone deacetylase inhibitor for the treatment of Friedreich’s ataxia disease; and RG1068, a synthetic human hormone developed as a novel imaging agent for the detection of pancreatic duct abnormalities in combination with magnetic resonance imaging in patients with pancreatitis and other related diseases. Additionally, Repligen Corporation offers alternating tangential flow system, a filtration device used to improve product yields during the fermentation step of the biologic drug manufacturing process. The company sells its bioprocessing products are to various life sciences companies, biopharmaceutical manufacturing companies, and contract manufacturing organizations worldwide. Repligen Corporation was founded in 1981 and is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts.
