PS Capture™ Exosome Flow Cytometry Kit
The kit can detect any surface marker proteins on extracellular vesicles (EVs) with high sensitivity by flow cytometry after capturing EVs by PS Affinity Method※1. Before use, it is necessary to prepare fluorescence-labeled primary antibody against exosome surface marker protein, or primary antibody and fluorescence-labeled secondary antibody.

Qualitative analysis of exosomes in cell culture supernatant of K562 cell line
Exosomes in cell culture supernatant of K562 cells were isolated using PS Capture™ Exosome Flow Cytometry Kit or each of anti-CD81-, CD9- and CD63-antibody-immobilized magnetic beads (supplier A), followed by flow cytometric analysis of exosome surface antigens after immunostaining with fluorescence-labeled antibodies.
Sample | Cell culture supernatant of K562 cells: 33 μL/Assay |
---|---|
Detection antibody | PE-anti-CD63 (BD Biosciences, 556020) PE-anti-CD9 (Novus Biologicals, NB100-77915PE) PE-anti-CD81 (Novus Biologicals, NBP1-44861PE) |
- PS Capture™ Exosome Flow Cytometry Kit
- Anti-CD81 antibody immobilized magnetic beads
- Anti-CD9 antibody immobilized magnetic beads
- Anti-CD63 antibody immobilized magnetic beads
Each signal value was normalized using the value of Isotype.
It was confirmed that the PS Capture™ Exosome FCM Kit can detect the exosome surface antigen with high sensitivity compared with competitors' products, regardless of which detection antibody is used.
Qualitative analysis of exosomes in serum and plasma
Exosomes in human serum and human plasma (EDTA plasma, heparin plasma) were isolated using PS Capture™ Exosome Flow Cytometry Kit, followed by flow cytometric analysis of exosome surface antigens after immunostaining with PE-labeled mouse IgG isotype control and PE-labeled anti-human CD9 antibody.

---|---|
Detection antibody | PE-labeled anti-CD9 antibody (Novus Biologicals, NB100-77915PE) |
In any of the samples, the peak shift of fluorescence intensity was confirmed when stained with PE-labeled anti-human CD9 antibody.

EDTA plasma and Citrated plasma
Pretreatment method of EDTA plasma and Citrated plasma
EDTA and Citric acid, which is the anticoagulant inhibit the binding of extracellular vesicles to Exosome Capture Beads. Therefore, perform pretreatment with sodium heparin solution.
- Prepare 1,000 U/mL sodium heparin solution with purified water. [Example of product used: Code No. 085-00134]
- Add 1 : 200 volume of sodium heparin solution to 100 μL of 10,000 × g supernatant (final concentration : 5 U/mL) and mix.
- Add 1 : 20 volume of Exosome Binding Enhancer (100×) further and mix.
- Proceed to “Isolation step”.
Recommended reaction scale
Basic protocol is set as 2 reactions using a 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube to isolate EVs from samples with Exosome Capture Beads.
For scale-up, increase the amount of Exosome Capture Beads and samples. Recommended reaction scale is presented in the right table.
Note: 10 reactions are maximum for one 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube.
