Analyzing the miRNA content of extracellular vesicles by Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0721-WXH)

Introduction

Recent discoveries of small, non-coding RNAs in cell-derived vesicles highlight the functional capacity of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in intercellular communication, and have motivated recent efforts to size, enumerate, and phenotype EVs for basic research and clinical applications.

Principle Applications Procedure Materials

Principle

Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) is a method for visualizing and analyzing particles in liquids that relates the rate of Brownian motion to particle size. The rate of movement is related only to the viscosity and temperature of the liquid; it is not influenced by particle density or refractive index. NTA allows the determination of a size distribution profile of small particles with a diameter of approximately 10-1000 nanometers (nm) in liquid suspension.

Applications

NTA has been used by commercial, academic, and government laboratories working with nanoparticle toxicology, drug delivery, exosomes, microvesicles, bacterial membrane vesicles, and other small biological particles, virology and vaccine production, ecotoxicology, protein aggregation, orthopedic implants, inks and pigments, and nanobubbles.

Procedure

1. Sample preparation
2. Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis
3. NTA Data Processing, Display, and Interpretation
