MicroScale Thermophoresis
A technology by NanoTemper
MicroScale Thermophoresis is an easy, fast and precise way to quantify
biomolecular interactions. It measures the motion of molecules along
microscopic temperature gradients and detects changes in their hydration
shell, charge or size.

Discover the Application Range
MicroScale Thermophoresis detects interactions between any kind of
biomolecules thus providing a large application range, from ions and small
Thermophoresis, the movement of molecules in temperature gradients, is
not only dependent on the size, but also on the charge and the hydration
shell of the molecule of interest. Therefore, binding events can be detected

Since MST is performed free in solution without any surface
immobilization, also bulky or sensitive molecule assemblies such as
liposomes, nanodiscs or membrane proteins can be investigated.

“We have used our Nanotemper NT.115 MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST)
we have been able to make comparisons, results from MST agree well with
anisotropy, SPR). However, we particularly appreciate two distinguishing
molecules binding to large labeled molecules, where binding is tight (nM Kd)
and one or both partners aggregate at micromolar concentrations. Secondly,
titrations, particularly for systems that have changes in their conformational
or oligomeric state upon binding. In several cases, multi-phasic titrations
Prof. Dr. Uffe Holmskov, Institute for Molecular Medicine, University of
Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark
thus, we appreciate that the interactions are investigted free in solution
and can be studied even in cell lysate. We are using MST for a number of
different interactions, mainly to investigate protein-protein interactions but
and biologics projects, with NanoTemper Technologies’ MicroScale
Thermophoresis has proved a valuable tool for characterising small
molecule-protein and protein-protein interactions, as well as for the study
of protein aggregation concentration determination. There is very good
agreement with other technologies such as Surface Plasmon Resonance
(SPR) and Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC), and we are particularly
