Latest Questions
Can NTA be used for exosome quantification?
NTA can be used for particle counting. However, quantifying exosomes based on particle number typically leads to overestimation because exosome samples may contain lipoproteins, protein aggregates, and other impurities that are also counted.
Does extracting RNA from tissue also extract RNA from exosomes?
Theoretically, extracting RNA from tissue will also extract RNA from exosomes. However, the amount and variety of RNA extracted from tissue are certainly greater than those from exosomes. Because exosomes represent only a very small part relative to the tissue, and their contained materials are not equivalent.
