Expert Plasmid DNA Production
Wacker Biotech is your go-to CDMO expert for the production of plasmid DNA (pDNA). pDNA is the critical starting material for advanced mRNA therapies and vaccines, gene or gene-modified cell therapies, and vector-delivered therapies (e.g., AAV and LV). There are some applications, such as DNA vaccines, using pDNA as the direct therapeutic itself.
pDNA Innovation and Experience

With over 100 GMP pDNA batches produced, our San Diego center of excellence has been at the forefront of plasmid development and production for all clinical study stages, including Phase III, since 2003. We also offer these capabilities in Halle, Germany.
Our dedicated team of approximately 30 nucleic acid research scientists in Munich continuously innovates new production methodologies and technologies. Our proprietary plug-and-play PLASMITEC® platform streamlines pDNA manufacturing with efficient fermentation and downstream purification, ensuring high-quality production without compromise.
