Application of mass photometry in GMP-regulated environments for characterization of AAV samples

Refeyn
10 Jan 2024

In this whitepaper, Refeyn defines how the SamuxMP and SamuxMP Auto can be applied in a GMP-regulated environment and outlines the key features of the SamuxMP software package. The whitepaper addresses challenges in the commercial manufacturing of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), commonly used vectors for gene delivery. It highlights the limitations of current AAV characterization methods, such as analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), electron microscopy (EM), or qPCR/ELISA. Mass photometry is introduced as a solution that overcomes bottlenecks, providing reliable data at the single-particle level and aligning with traditional characterization methods.

SamuxMP Auto

Refeyn

The SamuxMP Auto is the automated mass photometer for AAV characterization, autonomously measuring up to 24 samples in approximately 90 minutes. The instrument rapidly measures AAV empty/full ratios, sample purity, and particle aggregation for any AAV serotype – with high precision and reproducibility.

SamuxMP

Refeyn

The Refeyn SamuxMP is a mass photometer optimised for adeno-associated virus (AAV) characterisation and is an essential analytical tool for laboratories working with AAVs. The SamuxMP precisely measures the empty/full capsid ratio for AAVs of any serotype. SamuxMP mass photometry measurements are rapid and require very little sample.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
