Purity Evaluation Service for Exosome Product

Exosomes are small, lipid bilayer-enclosed extracellular vesicles secreted by a variety of cells and involved in intercellular communication. As biologically active carriers of proteins, RNA, lipids, and metabolites, exosomes hold immense potential in drug delivery, diagnostics, and biomarker discovery. However, the reliability and safety of their clinical and research applications rely heavily on the purity of the exosome preparation. Exosome preparations are often contaminated with co-isolated entities such as protein aggregates, lipoproteins, nucleic acids, cellular debris, or other extracellular vesicles (e.g., microvesicles, apoptotic bodies). Impurities not only compromise biological functionality and reproducibility of exosome preparations but also introduce risks for their downstream applications, particularly in therapeutic or diagnostic settings. Therefore, systematic purity evaluation is an essential component of quality control in exosome product development.

 

Service at MtoZ Biolabs

To support high-quality exosome research and product development, MtoZ Biolabs offers a comprehensive Purity Evaluation Service for Exosome Product. Exosome purity evaluation refers to the quantitative and qualitative assessment of the components within an exosome preparation. It aims to determine the relative abundance of intact exosomes compared to contaminating materials. This process ensures the biological relevance, functional reliability, and regulatory compliance of exosome-based products. Our platform integrates biophysical, biochemical, and molecular-level analyses to provide a clear and accurate profile of exosome purity.

 

1. Morphological Assessment

We utilize Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) or Cryo-EM to visually confirm the presence of intact, cup-shaped vesicles while detecting non-vesicular contaminants. This direct imaging approach provides qualitative evidence of structural purity.

 

2. Particle Size and Distribution Analysis

Using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) or Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), we measure the particle size range and concentration of vesicles. Abnormal size distributions or the presence of multimodal peaks may indicate contamination from larger vesicles or sub-vesicular particles.

 

3. Purity Ratio Calculation

We calculate protein-to-particle ratios by comparing total protein content (via BCA or Bradford assay) to vesicle concentration (via NTA). A high protein-to-particle ratio often suggests contamination by free proteins or protein complexes.

 

4. Chromatographic Analysis

We apply chromatographic methods to separate exosomes from co-eluting impurities. The resulting elution profile enables real-time monitoring of exosome-containing fractions and non-vesicular protein peaks, providing high-resolution insights into purity.

 

5. Mass Spectrometry-Based Profiling

Through LC-MS/MS proteomics, we perform detailed cargo profiling to identify and quantify both exosome-enriched proteins and known contaminant markers. This method supports high-sensitivity detection of trace-level impurities.

 

6. Bioactivity Assessment

We assess the functional purity of exosomes by evaluating their ability to enter target cells or exert defined biological responses. Loss of activity may suggest the presence of interfering substances or degradation-related byproducts.

 

7. Exosomal Marker Evaluation

Using Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, qPCR, mass spectrometry, and other analytical methods, we confirm the expression of canonical surface and luminal markers, while also screening for negative markers to exclude contamination from intracellular components or non-exosomal vesicles.
