Abstract
Anti-Brownian traps confine single molecules or particles in free solution by closed-loop feedback forces, allowing detailed characterization of photophysical and transport properties. We have recently extended this approach to tracking the particles with interferometric scattering at near infrared wavelengths. This extension allows trapping non-fluorescent particles and performing simultaneous modulated fluorescence measurements in the Interferometric Scattering Anti-Brownian ELectrokinetic (ISABEL) trap. Here we use the interferometric scattering signal in the ISABEL trap to measure the scattering cross-sections of single carboxysomes, bacterial nanocompartments involved in carbon fixation. With a core-shell model, we can calculate the total mass and internal loading of single nano-objects.
