- Monolith NT.Automated – re-training session & Spectral Shift introduction with NanoTemper Technologies
Turku Protein Core and NanoTemper would like to invite you to the free Monolith NT. Automated retraining session on 28.5. at Biocity. We would like to invite all scientists who have measured interactions using the Monolith system, as well as all those who plan to start such measurements. During the meeting, you will have the opportunity to:
Refreshing information on the basics of the MST (MicroScaleThermophoresis) method.
What kind of interactions can we measure using MST?
New Spectral Shift method – how it works?
What does the measurement look like and how to prepare the sample.
Data analysis from Monolith
Possibility to talk to specialists from NanoTemper Technologies.

- New Mass Photometer and Homogenizer
Turku Protein Core received research infrastructure funding from Research Council of Finland to improve protein research capabilities here on campus and the first of the new acquisitions are now available for use!
Mass Photometer – Refeyn TwoMP Auto
More info on the Protein Characterization and Interaction instrument page.
The instrument can be used for label-free measurement of quality and molecular weight of proteins and protein-protein complexes. It is located in Turku Bioscience, 5th floor of Biocity.
High-Pressure Homogenizer – Avestin Emulsiflex C3
More info on the Protein Purification instrument page.
The instrument can be used for cell disruption, emulsions, liposomes, and particle size reduction. It is located in the Department of Life Technologies, 6th floor of Biocity.
Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming FIRI acquisitions.
