Custom & Catalogue RNA Synthesis

mRNA: academic flexibility,
CDMO performance.

UBC’s RNA & Formulation Core ordering portal provides streamlined access to custom mRNA, saRNA, and reporter RNA products. As a university core facility, we combine UBC’s academic expertise with service-focused delivery, continuously evaluating and implementing advanced synthesis, purification, and analytical workflows to support DNA to RNA to LNP projects with exceptional capabilities in early discovery screens and preclinical development.

From researchers who've ordered

Trusted by labs who need it fast, and right

"UBC's RNA and LNP products jumpstarted our R&D roadmap, shaving months off the time needed to develop our lead candidate."

Matt ZehnderCEO, Pasture Biosciences

"The UBC mRNA and LNP teams have been exceptional — delivering constructs and formulations on short timelines, often responding within minutes."

Lada NuzhnaCEO, Epi Labs

"The timeline for turnover was faster than larger commercial suppliers, with excellent flexibility on short notice."

Cedric BrimacombeDir. Business Development, Polymorphic Bio
