Provides comprehensive or selected services in necessary isolation, quantification and characterization of EVs. Isolation of EV is based on size exclusion using high-performance (SEC-HPLC) or gravity fed (e.g. iZon column) liquid chromatography, ultracentrifugation, and/or density gradient ultracentrifugation. Accurately characterizes EV particle size distribution and concentration using resistive pulse sensing techniques (nCS1, Spectradyne, LLC). Immunophenotype can be accomplished using nanoscale flow cytometry and/or chip array (ExoViewTM) techniques. Provides services in training and education for individuals and lab groups in all methods above and study design consultation.
