PlasmidFactory

PlasmidFactory COMPANY

PlasmidFactory GmbH & Co. KG is a globally active biopharmaceutical company, founded in Bielefeld, Germany, in 2000. The leading contract manufacturing organization (CMO) for plasmid and minicircle DNA has a strong customer base in the fields of cancer research, gene and cell therapy, CAR T-cell development, and vaccination.

PlasmidFactory produces plasmIDS and minicircles according to client's requirements in modern laboratories with high quality standards.

The company's R&D activities are focussed on its core competencies: Production, analysis and storage of plasmid and minicircle DNA.

The PlasmidFactory team is formed of biologists, chemists, engineers and technical assistants.

PlasmidFactory is working on the following research topics – in close co-operation with industrial and academic partners.

Transient AAV production

Development of non-viral vector systems free of resistence gene sequences (e.g. minicircle)

Research on long-term storage of plasmid DNA and parameters influencing the stability (e.g. plasmid size, DNA concentration, storage buffer)

Influence of freeze and thaw conditions on plasmid topology

DNA vaccine development for cat fibrosarcoma

Production of dimer or multimer plasmids (e.g. reporter gene vectors)

Application of capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE)

Optimization of vectors for co-transfection, e.g. for production of viruses (AAV, LV) or antibodies

Optimization of lentiviral vector systems

Vector development for hepatitis vaccines

Clinical and pre-clinical research for non-viral vectors

Furthermore, PlasmidFactory co-operates with national and international partners on individual projects.
