mRNAs have recently emerged as a therapeutic approach, notably with mRNA vaccines for SARS-CoV2. Many research groups aim to better understand mRNA technology and its potential applications. A current challenge is the lack of control over mRNA translation into proteins, hindering therapy development.
Flash-Caps offer a solution, controlling mRNA studies with light without altering its natural structure or sequence. Light serves as a precise external trigger, compatible with standard mRNA production and application methods, making Flash-Caps valuable for all mRNA research groups and companies.
Beta Testers

We are looking for beta testers who would like to try Flash-Caps before the public release. If you are working in basic research or development using mRNA technology, we would be delighted to optimize Flash-Caps for your field – all research projects are welcome.
To ensure the best results, our experts will provide all necessary handling information. After 3 and 6 weeks, we will conduct short interviews to understand your experience, eliminate bottlenecks, and improve ease of use.
If you are interested in testing Flash-Caps for your mRNA research or development, we would be delighted to hear from you! Please use the following application form and provide us with some general information on your research area and your contact details.
Cooperation Partners

We are looking for cooperation partners who would like to support the product development of Flash-Caps or provide support for the production and purification of Flash-Caps.
