Lysis


Cell lysis is the critical step for plasmid production
VGXI considers lysis a purification step with 99.9% of the mass removed
We Avoid any human intervention in the process
We Avoid centrifugation or any high shear on the resulting lysate to minimize genomic contamination

We do not add animal-derived enzyme
It is well known that batch processing of lysate by hand yields variable results
We test several lysis production rates early to determine scalability
   

At VGXI, we utilize a proprietary Continuous Capture Method.
This method allows us to effectively lyses cells at a continuous high rate without damaging cellular contents
Neutralize, mix, separate, and remove solids in one simple operation, without the need for centrifugation or bag filtration
Simultaneous primary capture plasmid product to create a semi pure process stream
