Washington – September 25, 2026 -- Lyntris Inc. (NYSE: LYNX) has completed qualification of a wedgelock assembly critical to Raytheon's SPY-6 radar family, closing a supply chain gap identified during the U.S. Navy program's shift to full-rate production.

Two-year effort converts a long-lead bottleneck into an in-house capability

The qualification followed nearly two years of joint work between Lyntris and Raytheon, an RTX business, after a supply chain review flagged the wedgelock -- a sub-assembly within the Radar Modular Assembly (RMA) chassis -- as a risk to build-rate targets. Lyntris established manufacturing processes, validated performance, and secured qualification as a scalable production source meeting U.S. Navy requirements.

Philadelphia and Boston – September 25, 2026 -- Minaris, a global cell and gene therapy CDMO, has partnered with synthetic biology firm Asimov to integrate proprietary OXGENE viral vector technology into Asimov's AAV Edge producer cell lines, targeting higher manufacturing titers and improved product quality for adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapies.

Stable production systems aim to replace costly transient manufacturing

Most AAV programs currently rely on transient production, requiring multiple GMP plasmids to be transfected for every batch. This method drives up costs, limits scalability, and can produce inconsistent product quality. Stable production systems have historically been difficult to develop due to the complexity and interdependency of viral genetics involved.
