cGMP-Source® Plasmid DNA
GMP-Source® Plasmid DNA
A faster, cost-effective alternative to GMP production, GMP-Source® (GMP-S) plasmid DNA can be manufactured to standard or customizable specifications. Adopting the most relevant features of cGMP manufacturing, including traceability, document control and materials segregation, GMP-Source plasmid DNA can be used as an ancillary or critical raw material for producing protein and viral candidates used in clinical trials.
Accompanied by a comprehensive manufacturing summary report suitable for regulatory submissions, we deliver high-quality products to fit your GMP-Source project.

Aldevron employs a predictable and streamlined entry for our GMP-S manufacturing process. In this system, we require the items listed below to be completed prior to project initiation, to ensure accurate scheduling is completed. These include:
- Complete, executed, GMP-S Proposal
- Receipt of Purchase Order/Payment information
- Receipt and research grade screening of starting material (if not starting from an existing Aldevron-produced Master Cell Bank)
- Full execution of Aldevron Manufacturing Specification forms
Once these items have been received or completed, our team will provide target completion timeframes so you can better manage your process.
