RNA IN ACTION

“What we’ve been able to do is actually make your RNA of choice. That allows you to make metric-ton quantities, in a capital-efficient system at a cost that the farmers can afford.”

Carole Cobb, Former GreenLight COO

PLATFORM

How do we make RNA?

What is cell free production and how is ours different? The technology we developed to produce dsRNA enables delivery of high volume of Technical Grade Active Ingredient at less than $1/gram. This breakthrough can create high quality, non-GMO products.

The GreenLight way

  • Affordability

    Our proprietary cell free methodology that enables prices at less than $1/gram for dsRNA

  • Quality

    Our system allows us to create high-quality RNA

  • Speed

    Batches take hours, not weeks, allowing us to be flexible and efficient

PLATFORM

How our technology solves many RNA production problems

Each step and reaction component in the GreenLight Bio production process has been developed or selected with cost, quality, safety and commercial scalability in mind.
