Abstract: Mass photometry is a bioanalytical technology that measures the mass of individual, unlabeled biomolecules in solution. It provides a quick overview of the mass and relative abundance of all species present in a sample. The measurement takes just a few minutes and requires only a small amount of material (10–20 μL at nM conc.). The instrument is compact, fitting easily on a benchtop, and is user-friendly, with intuitive data analysis. In this session, we will introduce the principles and applications of mass photometry and address any questions you may have.

Short Bio: Perla Vega is a Sales and Applications Specialist at Refeyn, a company revolutionizing molecular analysis through mass photometry—a groundbreaking, label-free technology that measures molecular mass at the single-molecule level. Since its founding in 2018 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford, Refeyn has launched a suite of innovative instruments, expanded globally, and supported over 500 scientific publications.
