Monolith Omni
More answers.
Less complexity.
Complete interaction characterization in solution, even for targets that are difficult to study. Monolith Omni combines affinity, kinetic rates, and ligand-induced stability insight in one 10 µL workflow, helping you characterize membrane proteins, receptors, nucleic acids, molecular glues, degraders, and more without immobilization or mass-transport limitations.
Affinity, kinetics, stability. One workflow.
Affinity, kinetics, stability. One workflow.
Compare candidates with more than Kd
Measure affinity together with kinetic rate constants, so you can distinguish candidates that bind with similar strength but different kinetic profile and residence time.
Study fast interactions in solution
nanoTAK supports fast kinetic analysis, including kon up to 10⁸ M⁻¹s⁻¹ and koff up to 2 s⁻¹, without immobilization.
Reduce assay-format artifacts
Because nanoTAK measures relaxation behavior in solution, kinetic interpretation is not limited by mass transport to and from a sensor surface.
Work independently from molecular weight and size
Measure affinity and kinetics even when the binding partners differ strongly in molecular weight, without depending on size or mass changes of the complex.
Keep relevant assay conditions
Run studies in physiological, detergent-containing, or DMSO-containing buffers, including conditions incompatible with biosensor techniques.
Strengthen AI-assisted decisions with more complete interaction profiles
Support data-driven prioritization, interpretation of structure–activity relationships, model refinement, and cross-candidate comparison.
Get broader interaction insight with confidence, even when your sample is limited and your target is challenging.

Prometheus™ Panta is powered by our unique technologie
DLS enables you to monitor the colloidal stability of your sample. This information helps you optimize your sample by making changes to the sequence or buffer environment, and measuring how those changes impact colloidal stability.
Your challenging targets, finally measurable.
Monolith Omni enables in-solution interaction characterization in a fluidics-free workflow that is simple to run and easy to maintain. By combining affinity and kinetic analysis in biologically relevant conditions, it helps reduce assay complexity while supporting challenging interactions across diverse modalities. With broad kinetic coverage, low operating burden, and high ease of use, Monolith Omni is designed to deliver richer interaction insight without adding workflow overhead.
Detect small-molecule binding without relying on mass change. Small molecules and fragments can be difficult to characterize when the assay depends on a measurable mass shift or surface setup. Monolith Omni measures interactions in solution with mass-independent readouts, helping confirm weak or low-molecular-weight binders under compound-relevant conditions, including DMSO-containing buffers.
When Kd is close, rank by kon and koff. Add nanoTAK kinetics and ligand-induced stability insight to compare candidates with more than a single parameter.
Study challenging degrader and molecular glue interactions, including binary and ternary complex formation, in an in-solution workflow designed to support richer interaction profiling from limited material.
Work with challenging systems such as receptor and membrane-associated targets where orientation, environment, or surface immobilization may influence the result. Monolith Omni helps characterize interactions in solution with a workflow built for difficult samples.
Characterize protein–nucleic acid, RNA–ligand, and other nucleic-acid-associated interactions in solution, helping preserve conformational flexibility and reduce assay-format constraints.
For interactions complicated by immobilization, mass transport, DMSO correction, or large molecular-weight differences between binding partners, nanoTAK provides a solution-based kinetic workflow designed to extract kon and koff without relying on a sensor surface.

Multiple insights.
Spectral Shift
Isothermally detects direct target engagement, independent of the binding site by measuring shifts in the emission spectrum of a fluorescently labeled target. Derives affinity constants from the ratiometric signal with sub-nanometer sensitivity that catches the binders other platforms miss.
nano Temperature Alteration Kinetics (nanoTAK)
Uses a precise laser-induced temperature jump to perturb the binding equilibrium. Relaxation to the new equilibrium is monitored in real via Spectral Shift. A global model fit yields rate constants in-solution, delivering insights into molecular binding kinetics.
nano Laser Induced Stability Analysis (nanoLISA)
nanoLISA detects unfolding and early aggregation by heating samples up to 95°C while monitoring spectral shifts. Unfolding alters the fluorophore’s environment, producing a clear sigmoidal curve. Ligand binding shifts this curve, showing stabilization through covalent and non-covalent interactions. Comparing thermal melting profiles with and without ligand enables orthogonal hit confirmation and deeper insight into binding.
Temperature Related Intensity Change (TRIC)
Measures fluorescence changes after a brief temperature increase. Confirms hits with an orthogonal signal and reveals ligand-induced effects like aggregation behavior.

FAQs
Monolith
Monolith Omni combines affinity, kinetics, and qualitative stability in a single workflow. This helps researchers build a broader interaction profile by measuring binding strength, adding kinetic context, and assessing ligand-induced stability effects from the same experimental workflow.
Monolith Omni builds on NanoTemper’s proven Monolith platform by extending beyond affinity measurement alone. In addition to in-solution affinity analysis, it adds kinetic and qualitative stability insight to help researchers interpret molecular interactions more completely.
Monolith Omni brings multiple interaction parameters together in a single experimental workflow, reducing the need to switch between separate methods for affinity, kinetic, and stability-related insight. This helps lower workflow complexity, preserve sample, and simplify interpretation.
Monolith Omni is designed for rich, multi-parameter interaction characterization rather than high-throughput screening. It is best suited for applications where depth of insight, limited material use, and simplified workflow matter more than maximum screening scale.
Monolith Omni is a strong fit when affinity alone is not enough and you need additional kinetic and qualitative stability context without adding multiple separate assays. It is especially valuable for challenging targets, diverse molecular modalities, and experiments where sample is limited.
