Nat Biotechnol. 2024 Apr;42(4):587-590. doi: 10.1038/s41587-023-01825-5. Epub 2023 Jun 12.

Abstract

We introduce a method, single-particle profiler, that provides single-particle information on the content and biophysical properties of thousands of particles in the size range 5-200 nm. We use our single-particle profiler to measure the messenger RNA encapsulation efficiency of lipid nanoparticles, the viral binding efficiencies of different nanobodies, and the biophysical heterogeneity of liposomes, lipoproteins, exosomes and viruses.
