Overview

Regarding exosome purification methods, each method has advantages and disadvantages when performing exosome isolation according to different principles in the Minimum Experimental Requirements of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) (MISEV2023):

Separation method | Advantages and Disadvantages: Ultracentrifugation (DC) | Common exosome isolation methods; But first, special large-scale ultracentrifugation equipment is required; Secondly, in order to increase the yield, longer centrifugation time or greater centrifugal force is required, but this will inevitably increase the content of impurity proteins (usually proteins with a density similar to or higher than that of EVs) in the product; Thirdly, DC may cause aggregation or damage of EVs. In addition, the DC yield reported in the literature ranges from 2 to 80%. It is conceivable that the biochemical composition of the products obtained under different centrifugation conditions is difficult to maintain consistent and the stability is poor; Moreover, the ultracentrifuge operation is complex (the whole process takes about 3-9 hours) and the throughput is limited. It is only suitable for scientific research purposes and cannot meet the needs of clinical applications. / Density gradient centrifugation (DGC) | It can effectively remove impurity proteins in samples and is especially suitable for applications that require high product purity. However, this method is very complex to operate (the whole process ranges from 16 to 90 hours), the yield is low (about 10%), and the throughput is severely limited, making it only suitable for scientific research purposes. / Immunocapture (IC) | The product has high purity; However, it relies on antigen expression, and there is a preference for subpopulations; On the other hand, magnetic bead antibodies are expensive and are not suitable for processing large-volume samples; Finally, when using antibody magnetic beads to process samples such as plasma, the official recommendation of the kit is to utilize an SEC kit to pre-purify the sample. The disguised form demonstrates that the immune capture method is not ideal for direct processing of complex samples. / Polymer precipitation (PEG) | The operation is simple and the cost is low, the product EVs can be concentrated up to 50 times, and there is almost no limit on the sample volume. However, the selectivity is low and the product contains a large number of PEG molecules and impurity proteins. It is not recommended to consider this separation method for precious clinical samples.

Molecular size exclusion chromatography SEC stands out among many separation methods. It stands out due to its excellent performance and has won the favor of experts in the field of EVs. Its research proportion in the EVs special issue JEV is increasing day by day. The Exosupur ® kit, a patented product for the isolation and purification of exosomes based on the SEC principle developed by Echo biotech, has been tested by experts in the market and EVs field since its launch, and has received unanimous praise for its ease of operation, performance, stability and cost-effectiveness.

Performance

Characterization of TEM electron microscopy, WB and nanoFCM particle size of small extracellular vesicles sEV isolated from Exosupur ® cell-culture supernatant. For cell-culture supernatant samples, Exosupur ® can recover up to 95% of exosomes and has a removal rate of over 99% of impurity proteins. The lower left picture demonstrates the effect of separating 1 mL of concentrated cell-culture supernatant with a 1 ml exclusion column (ES914, ES911). The lower right picture demonstrates the effect of separating 3 mL of concentrated cell-culture supernatant with a 3 ml exclusion column (ES933). The second row below demonstrates the effect of 10 ml of concentrated cell-culture supernatant loaded on a 10 ml exclusion column. High-purity exosomes are more conducive to RNAomics, proteomics, cell function and in vivo experimental research. Protein K and RNase A double-enzyme digestion further confirmed that the RNA obtained by Exosupur ® was more derived from vesicles, while the detection value of free RNA outside the vesicles was lower. When conducting proteome research on exosomes isolated from Exosupur®, abundant vesicle-specific biomarker proteins can be detected, indicating that the exosomes are highly pure and can detect more proteins derived from exosomes; a relatively large number of proteins can be detected, which is conducive to differential analysis between different samples; there are many overlaps with published articles and databases, indicating that the data is reliable and can accurately study exosome proteins. Comparing different SEC separation methods: the fraction collected by the Exosupur ® kit has the highest fluorescence intensity (A) and the lowest protein concentration (B and C), indicating that Exosupur ® has the most effective recovery rate of EVs and the lowest free protein contamination.

FAQ

Q: can the Exosupur ® exosome purification kit be equipped with a similar plastic test tube rack for easy utilize? A: We have matching exclusion column brackets (ES914S and ES933S), which need to be purchased separately. Bracket link: Exosupur ® Exclusion Column Companion-Bracket & Adapter Accessories-Echo biotech Q: can the Exosupur ® exosome purification kit be equipped with a buffer for each multiple column volumes of PBS or cleaning solution flushing, so that it does not need to be added repeatedly? A: We have matching adapters (ES91A and ES93A), which need to be purchased separately. Adapter link: Exosupur ® Exclusion Column Companion-Stand & Adapter Accessories-Echo biotech Q: The adapter and the exclusion column cannot fit tightly, is there leakage? A: Adjust the direction of the adapter. The adapter should be inserted a little tighter. Normally, it will not affect the utilize. Q: What do I need to prepare for this kit to isolate exosomes? A: 1) Sterile PBS solution (must be filtered with a 0.22μm filter membrane. It is recommended to prepare it freshly or purchase membrane-passed PBS. PBS solutions stored in a 4°C refrigerator must be equilibrated to room temperature first); 2) 20% absolute ethanol (must be degassed under ultrasonic conditions for 20 minutes or left overnight after preparation); 3) Ultrafiltration tube (molecular weight cutoff 100kD); 4) Collection tubes (1.5mL EP tube and 15mL centrifuge tube); 5) Sample (needs to be equilibrated to room temperature before loading). Q: After collecting the samples, the color is still in the middle. Is there any problem? A: IF you follow the operating instructions, there will be no problem. Generally, the color lags because the color is composed of small molecules and will come out later, and the exosomes will flow out first, so the color cannot be used to judge the collection of exosomes. Q: Should I flush it directly with blocking solution after utilize, or flush it with 2 times the column volume of PBS and then flush it with 1 times the column volume of blocking solution? A: IF it is not going to be used this time, there is no need to wash it with blocking solution; IF it is not going to be used this time and needs to be saved for next time, then it should be rinsed with PBS and then rinsed with blocking solution this time. Q: How to store the isolated exosomes? A: The problem of exosome preservation has nothing to do with the isolation method, but is determined by its own characteristics. IF conditions permit, it is best to utilize fresh exosomes for experiments. Frozen exosomes are prone to agglomeration and precipitation. In actual research, exosome functional experiments often require a large amount of exosomes that have to be extracted and stored in batches and can be stored at -80°C; however, when doing biomarker research, such as RNAomics, follow-up experiments such as RNA extraction must be completed as soon as possible after exosomes are extracted. Q: can Exosupur® isolate exosomes derived from bacteria? A: Exosomes derived from bacterial culture supernatant can be isolated.

A: Yes, you can refer to: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uZquvHdPzGLnaHpxe907Tg Q: can Exosupur® isolate milk-derived exosomes? A: Yes, you can refer to: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/-PiBtUqg2wOcozeclJhhUw
