Mass photometry is an analytical method that measures molecular mass by quantifying light scattering from individual biomolecules in solution [1]. When considering mass photometry as a new technology for your lab, it is important to understand whether it is suitable for the types of samples you need to analyze.
Here, we describe mass photometry’s mass range, resolution and experimental error, the concentration ranges that can be analyzed, and other information you will find useful as you explore mass photometry.
