Characterization of cellular microvesicles by Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0735-WXH)

Introduction

Cellular microvesicles (100 nm-1µm) are shed into the circulation from many different cell types including; platelets, erythrocytes and endothelial cells. They have major potential as novel biomarkers as they have been shown to be implicated in a multitude of pathological conditions.

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.
