The Biomolecular Interactions and Crystallography Core Facility of CEITEC MU is very happy to announce the installation of a new cutting-edge instrument that will assist in the characterization of macromolecular complexes. Mass photometer TwoMP (Refeyn) is designed to precisely determine the molecular mass of proteins, nucleic acids, and other macromolecules in a broad range of sizes. The machine is equipped with a recently developed fluidics system, allowing to analyze both high- and low-stability complexes across various concentrations. The instrument will be operated in user mode and shall be available by the end of the year.
For more information on the instrument details, terms of usage and reservations, check the CF website bic.ceitec.cz or contact the CF staff directly. Instrument was purchased thanks to the "Innovation of Czech Infrastructure for Integrative Structural Biology" grant, funded by the OP JAK for Research Infrastructures I.
