Chemists develop method to confirm mRNA vaccine stability

University at Albany researchers at the RNA Institute have developed a new method to test COVID-19 vaccine integrity that could allow anyone with basic skills in vaccine handling to detect expired vaccines quickly and effectively, without specialized lab equipment.

By employing laser-derived signals to assess vaccine stability, the method can be performed on sealed vials with no disruption to the vaccine's therapeutic effects. The system could be contained in a portable unit for easy transport and handling.

The research marks an important advancement in mRNA vaccine technology and was featured on the January 2024 cover of Analytical Chemistry.

"Current methods for testing the integrity of mRNA-based vaccines are destructive, time-consuming, costly and require highly skilled personnel," said collaborator Lamyaa Almehmadi, who led this study as a Ph.D. student at UAlbany's RNA Institute and is now working as a postdoc at MIT.
