Exothera Launches Ntensify to Fast-Track RNA Therapeutic Production

• Exothera has launched a new nucleic acids service offering powered by a continuous-batch RNA production platform, Ntensify.

• The Ntensify platform is designed to fast-track the production of higher quality and more cost-effective RNA therapeutics.

• Exothera’s partnership with Quantoom Biosciences grants clients access to the Ntensify platform.

Exothera, a provider of nucleic acids and viral vector development and manufacturing services, has launched a new nucleic acids service offering. This service is powered by a continuous-batch RNA production platform, Ntensify. Developed by Exothera’s sister company, Quantoom Biosciences, the Ntensify platform is designed to fast-track the production of higher quality and more cost-effective RNA therapeutics.

The platform offers significant advantages at both small and large scale. It is now available to biopharma companies in North America for the first time as Exothera expands its reach beyond Europe with a new site in Andover, Massachusetts. Ntensify is an all-in-one manufacturing platform for RNA production, offering a seamless transition from clinical to commercial-scale manufacturing, without the need for process development or scale-up.

Ntensify ensures consistent quality and yield throughout the entire production process by leveraging automation and standardization. This minimizes user handling to mitigate variability. Ultimately, the platform streamlines RNA product progress, cutting typical clinical production timelines when compared to traditional manufacturing processes and reducing overall costs.

Exothera’s partnership with Quantoom Biosciences grants clients access to the Ntensify platform. This empowers biopharma companies to accelerate their nucleic acid-based therapy development programs. Biopharma innovators partnering with Exothera can access this technology and the expertise of its experienced scientists all under one roof.

Thibault Jonckheere, CEO of Exothera, said: “As a specialist CDMO dedicated to viral vector and RNA production, we are excited to be the first to give the industry access to game-changing continuous-batch RNA production. We provide the leading-edge technology, experienced team, and flexible partnership required for biopharma companies and academic researchers of all sizes, and at all stages of their drug development journey, to confidently innovate and realize their vision.”
