“Introduction to Mass Photometry” online workshop by Refeyn on May 21st, 2026
This comprehensive online workshop will take you on a journey from the origins of the technology to its transformative applications in modern life sciences research. Led by two expert scientists from Refeyn, the session combines foundational knowledge with real-world insights and hands-on learning.
What You’ll Learn:
- Origins & Evolution: Explore how Mass Photometry was pioneered by the research groups of Justin Benesch and Philipp Kukura at the University of Oxford, and how the technology has evolved into a powerful platform for single-particle analysis.
- Core Principles: Understand the innovative optical and physical principles behind the technique — including how it enables precise mass measurements without labels, fixation, or complex sample preparation.
- Broad Applications: Dive into practical uses across diverse research areas:
- Protein oligomerization and interactions
- Antibody aggregation and binding studies
- RNA and DNA characterization
- AAV and virus-like particle (VLP) analysis (empty/full ratio determination)
- Biotherapeutics development and quality control
- Sample purity and heterogeneity assessment
- mRNA structure and stability profiling
- Practical Advantages: Learn how Mass Photometry accelerates discovery through rapid, low-sample-consumption measurements — ideal for early-stage research and high-throughput screening.
- Career Pathways: Gain insight into emerging career opportunities in biophysics, analytical development, and technology innovation driven by advanced single-molecule techniques.
