Abstract

Exosomes are smaller than other extracellular vesicles and, therefore require special techniques to separate them from others. To address the issues associated with centrifuge-based isolation of exosomes, namely time consumption and exosome damage, we have developed a separation technique which relies on Brownian motion of these vesicles. Using track-etched nanoporous membrane filter and Brownian motion as the driving force, we have been able to obtain well-isolated exosomes.
