Refeyn OneMP is the ideal instrument to characterise biomolecules, optimise conditions for working with them and to study their functions including interactions, oligomerisation and macromolecular assembly. It marks a new era in biomolecular analysis, using proprietary mass photometry technology to enable label-free, mass measurement of single molecules directly in solution.
Refeyn OneMP detects the light that is scattered by single molecules in solution and uses this signal not only to count molecules, but also to measure their mass. This is possible in a wide range of native buffer solutions, without the need for labels, and mass distribution results can be intuitively interpreted without a priori knowledge.
Mass distribution is a fundamental signature of the relative purity and stability of biomolecular samples. Monitoring mass can guide the optimisation of buffer conditions to avoid oligomerisation and aggregation or promote macromolecular complex assembly and stability. Mass measurement at single particle level also allows for extremely simple quantification of gene-delivery particle loading. Mass photometry is a single molecule technique, that counts species relative to their concentrations and is therefore quantitative. Therefore, it provides an extremely simple and quick alternative for the quantification of high affinity interactions.
Measuring mass allows the investigation of a wide variety of biological systems. The Refeyn OneMP provides this solution through mass photometry with unrivalled ease.
