Single particle profiler for measuring content and properties of nano-sized bioparticles

Abstract It is technically challenging to study the content and properties of nanoscale bioparticles in a high-throughput and single-molecule manner. We developed a high-throughput analysis method, called single particle profiler (SPP) that provides single-particle information on content and biophysical properties of thousands of particles. We applied SPP to measure the mRNA encapsulation efficiency of lipid nanoparticles, viral binding efficiency of different nanobodies and biophysical heterogeneity of liposomes, lipoproteins, exosomes and viruses.
