Abstract
We report on isolation, capture, and subsequent elution for analysis of extracellular vesicles derived from human liposarcoma cell conditioned media, using a multi-layer micro-nanofluidic device operated with tangential flow separation. Our device integrates size-based separation followed by immunoaffinity-based capture of extracellular vesicles in the same device. For liposarcomas, this is the first report on isolating, capturing, and then eluting the extracellular vesicles using a micro-nanofluidic device. The results show a significantly higher yield of the eluted extracellular vesicles (~84%) compared to the current methods of ultracentrifugation (~6%) and ExoQuick-based separations (~16%).
