Franklin Biolabs’ Vector, CMC and Analytical Services
We provide full-service AAV vector production for genetic medicine, supporting all stages from discovery to clinical trials with scalable, tailored solutions.
AAV vector manufacturing is a critical first step in the development of many gene therapies. It involves designing, characterizing, and optimizing plasmids, manufacturing the vectors at the appropriate scale, and analyzing the final product.
Our research-grade AAV vectors play an essential role in a variety of preclinical applications, both in vitro and in vivo, providing the foundational tools needed to advance genetic medicines toward clinical development.

Our deep expertise and unique insights into product-specific behavior enable process development that supports robust and effective platform technologies.
With cutting-edge process technologies such as high-density suspension or adherent-based culture and novel analytics available, we can accelerate the development of your advanced therapy program from discovery through commercialization.

Large-scale vector manufacturing process is a crucial step in the development of many gene therapies, scaling up the production of vectors that have shown promising effects in early studies.
Building on the foundation established at the research-scale stage, our large-scale manufacturing provides sufficient vector material to support more extensive preclinical investigations. This includes generating the critical data needed to meet the regulatory requirements set by agencies worldwide.

Analytical testing services are crucial for the successful development of gene therapies. Complete characterization of both the drug product and drug substance from preclinical through clinical stages is essential for understanding biological effects and meeting the criteria set by regulatory bodies worldwide.
The evolving field of analytical testing leverages cutting-edge technologies that we deploy to ensure our products consistently meet the highest quality and safety standards.
