Benchtop Macro Mass Photometer: KaritroMP
The new KaritroMP is a benchtop instrument that characterizes large viral vectors. Ideal for informing process development in preclinical settings and early drug development, it analyzes samples of adenovirus vectors (AdV) and lentivirus vectors (LVV) in just minutes. The instrument offers essential vector analysis capabilities, including the assessment of sample purity and stability.
Using novel macro mass photometry technology, this pioneering tool performs single-particle analysis, enabling users to visualize distributions of viral particle populations within their samples. It can resolve distinct populations of vectors and reveal changes over time – indicating whether a sample is suitable for further processing and helping users save time and resources.
