Empty/full measurement of AAVs
Mass photometry is a bioanalytical technology that measures the mass of individual AAV particles in solution, rapidly and using small sample amounts.
Mass photometry is ideally suited for measurements of empty/full capsid ratios, as filled AAV capsids have greater mass, so they can be distinguished from empty capsids on mass photometry histograms (Fig 1).

Figure 2 Mass photometry measurements of empty AAV capsids of different serotypes on the SamuxMP. Mass histograms for four different AAV serotypes, with the mass and standard deviation calculated from three technical replicates.
Serotype-agnostic AAV analytics
Different AAV serotypes can be measured on the SamuxMP mass photometer.
Figure 2 shows SamuxMP measurements of empty AAV capsids of four different AAV serotypes.
For each sample, the mass photometry measurements with the SamuxMP revealed a single, symmetric peak at the expected mass, confirming that the SamuxMP produces consistent results across serotypes
