Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis. A Review of Applications and Usage in the Analysis of Exosomes and Microvesicles

NanoSight

The study of exosomes and other cell-derived microvesicles is an area of rapidly growing importance and the subject of intense interest and research. The previous lack of suitable methods for their detection, analysis, enumeration and phenotyping is proving to be a significant limitation in these studies.
