Published Workflows
Objective: Validate scatter-free absorption spectroscopy as a method for accurate total RNA quantification in complex intact RNA nanoparticle formulations and compare its performance with fluorescence-based assays.
Why it works: The abstract states that SFAS removes light scattering from nanoparticle components, a source of interference in complex formulations, and then compares SFAS outputs against fluorescence-based assays across diverse formulation types.
