RNA and protein derived from EVs can be easily and quickly extracted without using an ultracentrifuge. The easy-to-handle spin column type simplifies the work, which can be expected to reduce variability and ensure reproducibility.

Applications

  • Extraction of exosome-derived biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment selection
  • Biomarker discovery and basic exosome research
  • Body fluids (serum, plasma, urine, etc.) and cell supernatants can be used

Features

  • Three-dimensional porous glass technology with precisely controlled pore size
  • Coating technology that does not adhere contaminant proteins
  • Isolate EVs easily and quickly (15 min)
  • Size separation enables you to capture bias-free EVs

Key technology

Precisely controlled porous glass pore size helps you capture EV-sized particles selectively. By coating the surface of the filter with a non-adhesive protein material, you can refrain from the adsorption of contaminant proteins, such as albumin. In addition, you can obtain highly pure EVs inside the filter by combining them with a washing reagent.


Protocol overview

  • Pretreatment

    Pretreat the specimen with a 0.22 μm syringe filter.

  • EVs capture
  • Input sample (100-500uL) into the column and centrifuge for 10min.

  • Washing
  • Load the washing reagent into the column and centrifuge for 5 min.

  • Extraction
  • Extract RNA and protein from the column using commercially available extraction reagents, and proceed to analysis.

Data example

Exosomal protein markers and purity

EVAGLAX wash buffer A enabled us to obtain CD9 intensity and protein purity equivalent to ultra centrifugation (UC).

Evaluation of exosomal miRNA concentration

Total RNA concentrations equivalent to the ultracentrifugal method have been obtained under EVAGLAX wash buffer A conditions.
