Lyophilized Exosome Standards

Lyophilization is the ideal technique for preserving the long-term stability of exosomes at 4℃.

Lyophilized exosomes can be used as control standards for multiple applications including FACS, WB,

ELISA and as calibration standards for quantitation of exosome-derived markers from biological samples.

Lyophilized exosomes are easy to ship and store, and are stable for 12 months at 4℃. Purified and

lyophilized exosomes are obtained from a variety of biological sources (cell culture supernatant, human

plasma, serum, urine and saliva). Exosomes are purified following a combination of ultracentrifugation and

microfiltration steps. Exosomes are subsequently quantified and validated for overall protein contentand

particle number by NTA (Nanoparticles Tracking Analysis) with NanoSight LM10. Lyophilization does not

affect the stability of purified exosomes and the expression levels of their exosome markers (proteins and

nucleic acids).

Applications

• Assay calibration

• Control (spike-in) for exosome quantification

• Protein marker analysis with different techinques

• Extraction and analysis of exosome nucleic acid

• Standardized positive controls for immunocapture performance evaluation

• Flow cytometry

• Electron microscopy

Advantages

• Higher purity and better performance than competitor

• Easy to reconstitute

• Long term storage (36 months in lyophilized form, stored at 4℃)

• Available from different human tumor cell lines

• Available from human healthy donors body fluids (Plasma, Serum, Urine & Saliva)

Lyophilization is the ideal method for preserving exosome stability

Expression of exosomal markers was assayed with different techniques (WB, FACS, ELISA) and

nanovesicle count was measured with NTA. Lyophilization did not substantially affect exosome count or

biomarker expression compared to other storage methods (Fig 1, 2, 3, 4).

Comparing different storage methods of exosome standards (fresh vs. frozen vs lyophilized) with an anti-

CD81 ELISA assay, the loss of signal compared to fresh material is minimal when using lyophilized

exosomes (CV - 15%) (Fig 5).

HBM Exosome Standards guarantee higher purity and performances over competitors

HBM Exosome Standard from human serum (HBM-PES) were compared to human serum exosome

standard from a Competitor.

         exosomal markers CD9 and CD63

Fig. 7. Standard curve for exosome quantification. HBM Exosome Standard vs. Competitor’s standard

Exosomal markers CD9 and CD63 from 50 μg of both serum exosome standards were detected using an

ELISA assay (fig 6). HBM Standard (50μg) generated the highest signal, whereas the signal from Competitor

Standard (50 μg) was lower than 30 μg of HBM Standard. In a second test, 50 μg of HBM and competitor’s

Standards were serially diluted to design a standard curve for exosome quantification (fig 7). The standard

curve generated with HBM Standard was linear (R2 = 0,9876) within the concentration range and

suitable for exosome quantification.
