Exosome Bioanalysis Testing

The exosome bioanalysis testing service provided by our laboratory is a comprehensive and cutting-edge approach to understanding complex biological systems. Exosomes are small vesicles released from cells that play crucial roles in intercellular communication, including the transport of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. This service leverages advanced technologies such as flow cytometry, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and electron microscopy to provide detailed insights into exosome composition and function.

Our testing process begins with sample collection, which can include blood, plasma, or cell culture supernatants. Proper specimen handling is critical for ensuring accurate results; thus, we follow strict protocols designed to minimize degradation of exosomal components. Once collected, samples undergo a series of purification steps using ultracentrifugation and differential centrifugation techniques, followed by size exclusion chromatography if necessary.

For quantitative analysis, we utilize NTA systems capable of detecting particles ranging from 40 nm up to several micrometers in diameter with high precision. This allows us to precisely measure exosome concentrations and particle sizes, which are key indicators of their biological activity. Additionally, our lab employs mass spectrometry (MS) and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) for proteomic profiling, identifying potential biomarkers associated with various diseases.

Our bioinformatic tools enable the classification and functional annotation of identified exosomal RNAs or proteins based on known databases. This information can then be used to assess disease states such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune conditions, etc., making it an invaluable resource for both basic research and clinical applications.

In terms of regulatory compliance, our methods adhere strictly to international standards including ISO 17025 and ICH guidelines. We also participate in external quality assessments organized by organizations like EURACHEM or AACC International to ensure continuous improvement in analytical performance.

The ability to accurately analyze exosomes opens up numerous possibilities for personalized medicine approaches, drug development pipelines, early diagnostic tools, and therapeutic targets identification. Our team of experienced scientists works closely with clients throughout the entire process from initial consultation through final report generation ensuring seamless communication and tailored solutions based on individual needs.
