Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles, ranging in size from 30–150 nanometers. Released by a variety of cell types, exosomes play a crucial role in intercellular communication. These vesicles carry an array of molecules, including proteins, lipids and nucleic acids that reflect an exosome's cell of origin and can influence the behavior of recipient cells. Exosome research is dynamic and includes understanding their basic biology, developing detection and quantification techniques, and exploring their use in regenerative medicine and cancer therapy. Purifying exosomes previously required time-consuming manual methods.
The EXO-NET® Pan Exosome Capture Tool automates exosome isolation from a variety of biological samples. Using a unique capture mechanism, this tool helps researchers efficiently isolate exosomes with a high degree of purity and integrity. These are critical parameters for subsequent analyses in biomarker research, cellular communication studies and disease pathogenesis investigations.
