The challenge in mRNA research.

Precise mRNA tracking is essential for drug discovery, but traditional fluorescent labels disrupt functionality, causing unreliable results and costly setbacks.

The Stealth Labeling technology.

At LanteRNA, we developed Stealth Labels, a proprietary fluorescent labeling method that allows researchers to track and quantify mRNA while preserving its natural behavior.

Unlike traditional fluorescent dyes, our labels offer:

  • Minimal impact on RNA structure and function, allowing normal ribosomal translation.
  • Accurate real-time tracking in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.
  • Scalability for high-throughput applications, facilitating robust experimental workflows.

What are base analogues?

Base analogues like tCOTP replace the normal building blocks in the mRNA’s code. Because they’re small and integrate directly into the mRNA sequence, they let you see exactly what’s going on in your cells without messing up the results

Shedding light without weighing down your mRNA.

Unlike traditional dyes, which stick to the outside and weigh everything down, base analogues are part of the genetic message itself. This Stealthy approach means you get clear data and reliable answers faster.

LanteRNA’s solution

How it works.

Our tCO Stealth Labels are nucleoside analogs of cytosine, which are partially replaced in mRNA during synthesis depending on your desired incorporation degree. 

Scientific validation
& case studies.

Our technology has been validated in high-impact publications and through collaborations with leading academic and pharmaceutical institutions.
